Hypermobility

Beighton criteria:

--1 pt: if you can bend place hands flat on floor without bending knees
--1 pt: for each knee that bends backwards
--1 pt: for each elbow that bends backwards
--1 pt: for each thumb that bends to touch the forearm
--1 pt: for each hand where you can bend the little finger back beyond 90 degrees

A score of 4 or greater indicates hypermobility.
