Define the terms hypermobility and hypomobility as each refers to human motion
What will be an ideal response?
ANS:
Mobility of joints is assessed passively and refers to the amount of motion that is available (rather than that which someone necessarily uses actively). Hypermobility refers to excessive joint mobility. It generally results from inadequate support from structures such as joint capsule or ligaments (torn ligaments, plastic ligaments, or high elastin content). Hypermobility may also result from inadequate muscular support (e.g., weak or hypotonic muscles) around the joint. Hypomobility refers to limited joint mobility. It generally results from bony limitations to motion (e.g., large bony prominences, bone spurs), adaptively shortened joint capsule or ligaments, or excessive muscle support around the joint (e.g., hypertonic muscles or adaptively shortened muscles).
