What is Hypermobility?
'''Hypermobility''' refers to when [[human]] [[joint]]s stretch further than is usual. For example, some people can bend their [[thumb]]s back to their [[wrist]], their [[toe]]s backwards, put their [[leg]] behind their [[head]] or any other ways of unusual performances. This condition can affect a particular [[joint]] or many joints throughout the [[human body]]. Hypermobility often results from one or more body issues: misaligned joints, abnormally shaped ends of one or more bones near a joint or other body issues. The same defect also results in weaker than normal bones, which may lead to [[osteoperosis]] or bone fracture. This condition is often described with the term ''[[double jointed]]''. Some people who are hypermobile have no other health problems. [[Category:Joints]] {{biology-stub}}
