The frequency of parent-reported motor coordination difficulties in children diagnosed with benign joint hypermobility syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background In recent studies, joint hypermobility in childhood has been associated with poorer activity participation and quality of life outcomes. In addition, evidence suggests that these children are more likely to present with motor co-ordination difficulties. Reduced motor competence in childhood has a range of reported long term adverse health outcomes including obesity, decreased self esteem, and secondary mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. This group therefore warrants further study, along with appropriate and timely interventions.
