ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purpose<\/strong>: the current study intended to investigate the effect of hypermobility on the hamstring\u2019s muscular torque, quadriceps\u2019 muscular torque and H\/Q ratio.<\/p>\n

Materials and Methods<\/strong>: thirty normal male children aged from seven to eleven years and thirty age-matched male children with GJH were tested using isokinetic dynamometer. Eccentric-concentric and concentric eccentric moods were used for hamstring and quadriceps respectively at angular velocity of 60\u00b0\/s.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/strong> the results exposed that there was significant decrease in both peak muscular torques and H\/Q ratio in children with GJH when they were compared with normal children [P \u02c2.05].<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>; it can be concluded that joint hypermobility decreases muscular torque and H\/Q ratio. This may be due to proprioceptive deficits associated with hypermobility and abnormal muscular activation pattern. Further studies are needed to verify the definite cause of decreased muscular torque and H\/Q ratio.<\/p>\n

Key words<\/strong>: Muscular Torque, H\/Q Ratio, Hypermobility.<\/p>\n
