Beighton Score Calculator

Understand your joint flexibility.

This short check looks at the flexibility of selected joints. Your result can help start a conversation with your doctor.

Do not force any movement or ask someone to push your joints. Stop if you feel pain. If you are unsure, choose ‘Not sure / cannot assess’. A healthcare professional can confirm the measurements.

Common questions

What does this score measure?

It checks flexibility at selected joints. It does not assess every joint in the body.

Does a high score mean I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome?

No. Diagnosis requires a broader clinical assessment.

Can I have symptoms with a low score?

Yes. Symptoms and flexibility in joints outside this score may still need assessment.

What if I cannot tell whether a movement meets the angle?

Choose ‘Not sure / cannot assess’. A healthcare professional can measure the movement.
