Brief Summary

This study is the first to examine the effect of sole sensory training on sensorimotor organization in individuals with GEH. Individuals with a Beighton score of 5 and above were included in the study. Within the scope of the study, individuals with general joint hypermobility (GEH) were divided into intervention and control groups by the Randomization method. The intervention group received sole sensory training in the home environment. Both groups were given a foot care brochure. The individuals' sole sensory and balance skills were evaluated before and after the intervention. As a result of the study, the intervention aimed to prevent injuries and disabilities that may occur due to joint laxity by improving sole sensory and balance.
