Background and study aims
Hypermobility is not well understood. The aim of this study was to identify how common joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) is within jazz dancers, to test different ways of identifying JHS and to assesspotential risk factors for joint hypermobility in jazz dancers.
Who can participate?
Jazz dancers aged 18-25 years from the Polish Dance Theater
What does the study involve?
The participants were assessed for JHS symptoms using the following diagnostic tools: a structured interview, Beighton score (a physical test of joint flexibility), Grahame & Hakim questionnaire, and Sachse’s criteria, in the modified version proposed by Kapandji.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The benefit of the study for participants is the diagnosis or exclusion of JHS. This study demonstrated a signicant prevalence of joint hypermobility in jazz dancers and corroborates the findings of other researchers, indicating the need for unified diagnostic criteria for JHS in dancers. Participants do not bear any risk by taking part in the study.
Where is the study run from?
Kielce Dance Theater.
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
January 2013 to January 2014.
Who is funding the study?
The study was funded by the principal investigator.

| Scientific title | Comparing prevalence of joint hypermobility syndrome in jazz dancers using a structured interview, Beighton score, Grahame & Hakim questionnaire, and Kapandji-modified Sachse’s criteria |
| Study objectives | To assess the prevalence of joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) amongst a cohort of jazz dancers, by analyzing its presence in accordance with a number of diagnostic criteria, and to verify potential risk factors for joint hypermobility in jazz dancers. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Bioethics Commission of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Jan Kochanowski in Kielce, 11/03/2013, 01/2013 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) |
| Intervention | Data on the participants, including dance history and current dance performance, and the JHS symptoms they experienced was collected through a structured interview. Specific questions were asked about injuries, symptoms typical for the hypermobility syndrome such as chronic spinal pain, temporomandibular joint disorders and out-of-joint symptoms such as possible skin lesions, myopia, varicose veins. Interviews were carried out by the same physiotherapist. All subjects underwent anthropometric assessment with measures taken of standing height, using a stadiometer, and weight, using a standard set of scales. The presence of joint hypermobility syndrome was evaluated using the following diagnostic tools: Beighton score, Grahame & Hakim questionnaire, and Sachse’s criteria, in the version modified by Kapandji. |
