Ehlers Danlos is the medical condition primarily defined by increased joint range of motion.
Hypermobility is the term meaning excessive joint range of motion.
Joint effusion
The condition of blood within a joint is known as "hemarthrosis." This occurs when there is bleeding into the joint space, often due to injury, trauma, or underlying medical conditions like hemophilia. Symptoms typically include swelling, pain, and limited range of motion in the affected joint. Prompt medical evaluation is essential to address the underlying cause and manage the symptoms effectively.
The medical term for a neck joint is called a pivot joint. This is when one bone rotates around another bone in a circular motion.
Charcot Joint is a medical term that refers to the progressive degeneration of a weight bearing joint. Unchecked, the condition could require amputation.
Ligaments attach bones on either side of a joint allowing for certain range of motion. If the ligaments are too tight the joint cant extent fully, if they are too lax (or loose) the joint may overextend and cause damage.
The term "double joint" is a misnomer. There is no such medical condition as having double joints. It likely refers to having hypermobility in the joints, a condition known as joint hypermobility syndrome.
Posterior element hypertrophy is a condition that affects the facet joint. In layman's terms, this essentially means that the joint has simply increased in size.
Increased range of motion can improve performance by allowing for a greater range of movement during exercises. This can lead to improved technique, increased power output, and reduced risk of injury. However, it is important to balance range of motion with stability and control to prevent overstretching or compromising joint integrity.
arthritis is a medical condition affecting a joint or joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness
Ankylosis.Stiffness in the joints in medical terminology is also often referred to as arthritis, if the stiffness is caused by inflammation from disease, injury, disorder or infection.If the stiffness results in total joint immobility it is called an ankylosed joint.
The hallux is the medical term for the big toe. Hallux rigidus is a condition characterized by progressive degeneration of the joint at the base of the big toe, leading to stiffness, pain, and limited motion.
