dc.description.abstractAims: Hypermobility is a condition which increases the joint mobility range. Beighton method is used in diagnosisof hypermobility. Schober test and chest expansion measurement are frequently used to evaluate mobility of spineand expansion ability of chest in ankylosing spondylitis volunteers. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the impactof hypermobility on Schober test and chest expansion.Methods: The data of 300 healthy volunteers aged between 18 and 32 was collected. Beighton score, chest expansionand Schober score of all volunteers were measured and statistically analyzed using SPSS. Student’s t-test wasperformed to compare both groups. As for descriptive statistics, mean ± standard deviation and numbers were used.Results: One hundred twenty-two cases having Beighton score of 4 and above included in hypermobility groupwhile 178 cases under 4 served as control group without hypermobility. No significant relation in terms of chest expansionand Schober score was found out between groups. There was a slight positive correlation between Beightonscore and Schober score in whole group. In male population, both test scores had a correlation with Beighton scorewhile only chest expansion had correlation in female population.Conclusion: Although Beighton score seemed to have no effect on Schober or chest expansion scores in betweengroup comparisons, correlation analysis revealed that hypermobility may affect the scores, especially in males.en_US
