Hypermobilitet betyder, at et eller flere led kan bev\u00e6ges ud over det bev\u00e6geudslag, man normalt forventer. N\u00e5r hypermobiliteten findes i flere led i kroppen, bruges betegnelsen generaliseret ledhypermobilitet (Generalised Joint Hypermobility \u2013 GJH). Hypermobilitet er ikke n\u00f8dvendigvis et problem i sig selv. Mange mennesker er hypermobile uden smerter eller begr\u00e6nsninger. Det er derfor vigtigt at skelne mellem at have hypermobile led og at have symptomer eller en egentlig bindev\u00e6vstilstand.
