However, its in vivo behaviour in individuals with generalized joint hyperlaxity (GJH) remains unclear. This study aimed to quantitatively assess VP displacement and its spatial relationship with the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon in individuals with\/without GJH during PIPJ flexion and grasping conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MRI scans of 64 index fingers (32 participants: 16 with GJH, 16 controls) were acquired at 5 PIPJ flexion angles (0\u00b0, 30\u00b0, 60\u00b0, 90\u00b0, full fist) under 2 standardized loading conditions (grasping and forceful grasping). Measured parameters included distances from VP insertions to the PIPJ centre of rotation (CoR), between VP and FDP tendon, and between CoR and FDP. \u0130nter-rater reliability was assessed via ICCs. Group \u00d7 position effects were analysed using 2-way repeated measures ANOVA with Greenhouse\u2013Geisser correction, and correlations were examined for significant interactions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most morphometric measures showed excellent reliability (ICC \u2265 0.76). CoR\u2013VPTip and VP\u2013FDP distances were significantly greater in the GJH group at specific angles, indicating altered VP dynamics (interaction P\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f.05). CoR\u2013VPLip and VPLip\u2013VPTip distances showed no group differences. VP\u2013FDP correlation was weak to moderate (r\u202f=\u202f0.41) during forceful grasping.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
