Joint hypermobility in girls with idiopathic scoliosis: relation with age, curve pattern and curve size

چکیده
Methods The study group included 147 Caucasian girls with IS, aged 9-18 years (mean 13.6 ±2.2), Cobb angle range 11°65°, mean 27.9 ±11.9, comprising 42 single thoracic, 31 single lumbar and 74 double curve scoliosis. According to the Cobb angle, there were 70 mild (10-24o), 54 moderate (25-40o) and 23 severe (> 45o) curves. The control group included 147 girls aged 9-18 years (mean 13.1 ±.3), selected at random from the group of 300 girls free of IS (angle of trunk rotation <5°). The presence of JH was assessed with the 9-point Beighton scale [1], using the cutoff ≥5 points.

The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) in 155 girls with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) (age 9-18 years, mean 13.8±2.3). The control group included 201 healthy girls. The presence of GJH was assessed with Beighton (B) test. GJH was diagnosed in 23.2% of IS girls and in 13.4% of controls (P=0.02). The prevalence of GJH was significantly (P=0.01) low...
