Abstract
The familial undifferentiated hypermobility syndromes are a heterogeneous group of disorders in which generalised joint laxity is the primary clinical manifestation. The Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) (Chap. 9) and other rare genetic conditions (Chap. 11) which have additional non-articular stigmata are excluded from this category.
