Abstract
There has been increasing recognition in recent years of the prevalence and impact of symptoms which extend beyond the musculoskeletal system on the lives of people with hypermobility-related disorders. This has led researchers to develop more comprehensive assessment tools to help direct and monitor treatment. This article presents some of the latest assessment and diagnostic developments and their implications for practice from a physical therapy perspective.
