What Is Hypermobility Syndrome?

1. Joints
Without joints, we would not be able to move around as we do. Without joints, our skeletons would remain rigid and we would not be able to bend our legs, our arms, and move other body parts. Some animal species that don’t have internal skeletons have no need for joints, but humans do need them.
Our joints are made up of several components. These include the ends of the bones where they meet each other. Joints also typically have relatively soft cartilage that helps provide a protective cushion. Many of our joints are also held together with the help of ligaments.
