Hello Kevin et all,
Congratulations, Kevin, ou got an A grade for your splendid illustration of
stifffness.
But coming back to the semantics. OK if we have to dismiss the term
hypermobility, but hypercompliance or hyperstiffnesss sounds somewhat
awkward. What about hyperflexibility ? Ik know it sounds less scientific
but flexibilty also conveys the notion of a yielding movement resisting the
application of force. And it sounds more "familiar" and thus more
acceptable to most people.
Just my two pence worth ...
Regards to all,
Bart
