Summary/Abstract: Hypermobility is still a neglected cause of pain and musculoskeletal injuries, it is also a predisposing factor for a variety of musculoskeletal disorders – functional or structural. Hypermobility is a sign of reduced quality of connective tissue – ligamentous increased laxity. In examination we cannot ignore the importance of the athlete’s history, examination by sight and knowledge of specific tests. The results of the tests can help us to design an adequate exercise program.
