简要总结
This study aims to evaluate balance and physical performance under dual task conditions in individuals with and without Generalized Joint Hypermobility (GJH), as determined by the Beighton score. All participants will undergo the One-Leg Stance Test and 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test under both single-task (balance only) and dual-task (simultaneous cognitive task) conditions. The cognitive task will involve counting backward by sevens from a given number. Participants will also complete the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test under both single- and dual-task conditions. Additionally, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) will be used for comprehensive balance assessment. Balance confidence will be evaluated using the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC-16), and fear of falling will be assessed with the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). Changes in performance under dual-task conditions will be expressed as a percentage using the Dual Task Cost (DTC) formula

结局指标
主要结局
Performance in the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test
时间窗: 0 day
Measures dynamic balance, mobility, and the ability to maintain performance during divided attention.
Dual Task Cost (DTC) percentage
时间窗: 0 day
Quantifies the percentage change in performance when a cognitive task is added, reflecting dual-task interference.
Performance in the 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test
时间窗: 0 day
Evaluates lower extremity muscle endurance and functional strength under cognitive load
Performance in the One-Leg Stance Test
时间窗: 0 day
Assesses static balance capacity and the impact of a simultaneous cognitive task on postural control.
次要结局
- Berg Balance Scale (BBS):(0 day)
- Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC-16)(0 day)
- Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I):(0 day)
