This observational study is looking at young adults to understand more about generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) and conditions like Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Researchers want to see how common these conditions are in a healthy young adult population and why some people with flexible joints develop symptoms while others don't. You might be able to join if you are a Clarkson University Health Sciences student between 18 and 60 years old. The main goal is to understand your hypermobility status over five years. This study doesn't involve any specific treatments or interventions; it's about observing and collecting information.
