Sensory Processing Skills in Toddler With Joint Hypermobility

An Investigation of Sensory Processing Skills in Toddler With Joint Hypermobility

shows that children and adults with joint hypermobility may be identified with common clinical problems that are unrelated, such as chronic fatigue, anxiety, and a range of gastrointestinal functional disorders [4-6]. Considering the relationship of joint hypermobility with joint muscle tone and posture, sensory processing skills may also be affected in individuals with hypermobility. No study in the literature examines the relationship between joint hypermobility and sensory processing. This study was planned to detect joint hypermobility as early as 12-14 months and to examine its relationship with sensory processing skills.
