Hypermobility is more than normal joint laxity, mobility, and range of motion. It is characterized by increased laxity and fragility of connective tissues. Symptoms from hypermobility can begin at any age and affect women more than men. People are at higher risk than other people. It is stated that hypermobility is an important factor in orthopedic injuries and diseases. Individuals with hypermobility have more frequent orthopedic complaints and the problems are usually idiopathic and chronic. Studies have reported that proprioception and musculoskeletal reflex function may be affected independently of symptoms in hypermobile individuals. Therefore, evaluating hypermobility is very important in preventing hypermobility-related problems and injuries and developing appropriate treatment methods. Although the Beighton score is the most commonly used scoring method to determine hypermobility, it may be insufficient to determine hypermobility of the lower extremities. The Lower Limb Assessment Score (LLAS) has been reported to be one of the most appropriate scoring methods for assessing lower extremity hypermobility in the literature. The aim of this study is to adapt LLAS to Turkish and measure its validity and reliability.

| The Lower Limb Assessment Score (LLAS) | The LLAS was designed to test the mobility of many joints of the lower limb in multiple planes of motion. These tests include passive physiological, passive accessory and active range of motion. The LLAS is performed on both lower limbs, each providing a score to a maximum of 12. | 10 minutes |
| The Beighton Score | The Beighton Score is a set of manoeuvres used as the standard method of assessment for Generalised Joint Hypermobility. The Beighton score arbitrarily investigates the presence of hyperlaxity (yes = 1, no = 0) at both wrists, the fifth metacarpo-phalangeal joints, elbows, knee joints, and the lumbosacral spine. The items are summed and yield a Beighton score ranging from 0 to 9 points. | 5 minutes |
