Abstract
The following case histories have been drawn from the records of patients who have attended the Guy’s Hospital Hypermobility Clinic over the past two decades, many of whom have been observed over several years. A striking finding has been the number and variegated pattern of locomotor disorders suffered by individual patients. Many of the disorders encountered were amenable to treatment, and serious disablement was seen in only a few individuals. In each instance the Beighton et al. (1973) mobility scale was used.
