Summary

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
