Skin Hyperextensibility Print E-mail
Skin hyperextensibility should be tested at a neutral site, meaning a site not subjected to mechanical forces or scarring, e.g., the volar surface of the forearm. It is measured by pulling up the skin until resistance is felt. In young children it is difficult to assess because of the abundance of subcutaneous fat [Beighton, 1993; Steinmann et al., 1993].
