It is not possible for one to be double jointed. If one can bend their back, leg, elbow, thumb, etc. in strange ways, then they might think that they are double jointed, but they aren't. It is just easier for them to bend their joints than other people.
As the previous answerer stated, it is not possible to be double jointed (unless of course you had a strange birth defect in which an extra vestigial joint was made during your conception). The actual scientific term for "double-jointedness" is hyper-flexibility, the ability for a body part to flex, or bend, more freely than normal body parts.
The term "double-jointed" is a misnomer and not medically accurate. What people commonly refer to as being double-jointed is actually increased flexibility or hypermobility in the joints due to various factors such as genetics or training. The tongue is a muscular organ and does not have joints like the rest of the body, so it cannot be double-jointed in the traditional sense. However, some individuals may have increased flexibility in their tongue muscles, allowing them to perform unique movements or shapes with their tongue.
People who are double-jointed, or hypermobile, typically have greater flexibility in their joints than the average person. This may allow them to perform tricks or contort their bodies in ways that others cannot. However, it is important for double-jointed individuals to be cautious as being hypermobile can also lead to an increased risk of joint injuries.
No, joints are typically found in the body's bones and connect them together, allowing for movement. The butt is primarily made up of muscles and fat, so it cannot be double jointed.
The term "double-jointed" is not medically accurate. Some people have increased flexibility in their hips due to variations in their joint structure, ligaments, or muscles. However, extreme flexibility can sometimes lead to joint instability or increased risk of injury.
Hmm... Well, it's slightly indistinguishable from a normal wrist at a fast glance, or even stare. You can do one out of two things to figure out if your wrist is double jointed. Method 1: The rest of your body. Most likely if your wrist is double jointed, some other body parts are too, such as the fingers and arm. Try bending your fingers far back, but if they start to hurt stop immediately! Also, you can try to touch your thumb to the same wrist. Method 2: There are things you can do to determine if you are double jointed in the wrist. If your wrist starts to hurt badly while doing any of these tricks, stop quickly and rest it. Or, set your arm down, with your elbow on a table. Now, turn your palm to touch the table, leaving your elbow against the table also. My sources? Why, I'm double jointed in approximately 37 joints. 1. Take your wrist and bend it back. Yep. Backwards. If it goes farther then you think it should without pain, congrats. You have joined the millions of amazing, awesome double jointed people.
It all depends, double jointed isn't a bad thing nor a good thing its just something people are.

There is such thing as double jointed. The term double jointed is often used to describe someone with hypermobility. This allows the body to move in ways that are usually not normal for most people.
Yes, much like humans, cats can also be double jointed. However, not all cats are. In general, cats are pretty flexible.
Yes, technically, being double jointed is real, but the correct name for it is hypermobility or hyperlaxity, which is what doctors and other medical people will refer to it as. Look those words up and you can discover a little more about being hypermobile. I am double jointed, and can do lots of weird things from my shoulders to my fingers, so it does make me angry to see somebody who says being double jointed isn't real. It is, but they may call it something else. It's all the same thing.
I believe he is, yes, in his thumb. Being double jointed in the thumb, myself, I can do the same :)
Not necessarily. Although non-double-jointed people find the flexibility of double-jointed people appalling, it is a natural occurrence. It is just an ability that you were born with that others don't have, and since others don't have it, they find anything that they don't have appalling and 'gross'. Thus, being double-jointed is not gross, but a rather useful asset.
Yes, double jointed or hypermobility is when the joint is very flexible or lax. This can occurs in many joints but is most common in fingers and limbs. For example, if one is double jointed in their elbow, when they extend their arm the elbow will appear to be bent the opposite way or curving inward.

hypermobility. your welcome :)
Usually people that are Asian, or come from Asia, are double jointed. But still, it's possible to have someone that is not Asian be double jointed?
