Hypermobility (also called double-jointedness, hypermobility syndrome or hyperlaxity) is a condition in which people have more elastic ligaments, allowing their joints to stretch and contort further. For example, some double-jointed people can bend their thumb backwards to their wrist or in some other cases they can bend their knee joint backwards.

Hypermobility is generally regarded as a likely symptom of possible deeper problems.
