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.
