3. Generalized Joint Hypermobility and Specific Knee Laxity: Aspects of influence on the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injured Knee
Abstract : Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most serious sports-related injuries, with significant short- and long-term morbidity. Generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) and specific knee laxity are factors that have been associated with an increased risk of ACL injury and inferior postoperative outcome, but the state of the evidence is unclear and the available information is limited.

5. The impact of age and gender with respect to general joint laxity, shoulder joint laxity and rotation : a study of 9, 12 and 15 year old students
Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to study the natural development of general joint laxity, shoulder joint laxity and shoulder joint rotation in young students, and compare these to age-matched competitive swimmers to detect possible discrepancies between these groups. A further aim was to evaluate the clinical examination techniques used whether they correlate to each other in search of better understanding and interpretation of achieved measurement results.
