- Title
Joint Hypermobility: A condition that can interfere with the sense of body and body image.
- Abstract
Joint hypermobility, or JHM, isn't reported often, but a recent study points out that overly mobile joints aren't uncommon among eating disorder patients, particularly those with AN. Study participants also completed several questionnaires, including the Detailed Flexibility Questionnaire, or DFlex, a self-report questionnaire that assesses cognitive rigidity, and that coincidentally can reveal symptoms of the rigid perfectionism commonly found in ED patients.
