Outcome measures
Primary outcome
joint mobility
Secondary outcome
Secundairy parameters are:
Age, gender, lenght, bodyweight, hypermobility, functional difficulties, gross
and fine motor skills, intensity in sport, preferred hand
Background summary
The motivation to execute this study design lies in the fact that there is no
valid instrument to diagnose joint hypermobility at child age. In fact we
don't know what the normal range of joint movement is. Reference values of
joint mobility for children doesn't exist.
It is widely known that children have more joint mobility than grown ups. But
at what age do they lose these abilities?
Is it true that joint mobility at child age is related with gender and age? Is
perhaps hypermobility a normal symptom within the life of a young child?
Study objective
Reference values of joint mobility of children in the age 4-18 years.
Study design
The study design is an observational non invasive study.
Study burden and risks
Participating in the study is without risks. The intensity of the tests taken,
comparing with normal daily life, is a minimal burden. The time investment
varies from 20-60 minutes, which is in view of the intensity of the test
acceptable. The young child will experience the test as an enjoyable play. The
older child will be able in view of his age to participate in the study during
this amount of time
