Context: The relationship between generalized joint laxity and plantar pressure distribution of the foot and the potential implications for lower extremity injury have not been studied.Objective: To determine the relationship between generalized joint laxity and dynamic plantar pressure distribution. We hypothesized that individuals with greater generalized joint laxity, or hypermobility, would have greater dynamic medial midfoot pressure and loading during walking than nonhypermobile individuals.Design: Case control.Setting: Institutional biomechanics laboratory.Patients or Other Participants: Participants included 112 female soccer players between 11 and 21 years of age.Main Outcome Measure(s): Each participant was tested for generalized joint laxity using the Beighton and Horan Joint Mobility Index (BHJMI; range, 0-9) and was categorized as having either high (BHJMI score >= 4) or low (BHJMI score
