The Hospital del Mar Criteria is a standardized method for evaluating joint hypermobility. It assesses the range of motion in specific joints, including the little finger, thumb, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, patella, ankle, and metatarsophalangeal joint. One point is given for hypermobility in each joint, with a maximum total score of 10 points. A higher total score indicates greater overall joint laxity.
