Hypermobility

Hypermobility, in the context of joints, refers to the ability of a joint to move beyond its normal range of motion. This can occur due to loose or weak ligaments, which are the tissues that help stabilize joints. Hypermobility can be a normal variation in some individuals, but it can also be associated with certain conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders.
