Joint Hypermobility Syndrome: Recognizing a Commonly Overlooked Cause of Chronic Pain Bharat Kumar, MD, Petar Lenert, MD, PhD The American Journal of Medicine Volume 130, Issue 6, Pages 640-647 (June 2017) DOI: 10.1016/j.amjmed.2017.02.013 Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Maneuvers used to calculate the Beighton Score. The Beighton Score is calculated by adding the points obtained through each maneuvers, yielding a total maximum score of 9. A Beighton Score of 4 or higher is a major criterion for the Brighton Criteria (Figure 2).
