Structure of the "Five-part questionnaire" (5-PQ) of the translated version adapted to the Peruvian context.
| Description | |
| Title | 5-question questionnaire (5PQ in spanish) for joint hyperlaxity screening. |
| Indications | The following questions are designed to detect the presence of characteristics that may indicate joint hyperlaxity. This is defined as a condition in which there is an exaggerated increase in joint motion (such as elbow, shoulder, knee, etc.). Mark with an "X" if you agree with the alternative given. |
| Question 1 | Can you (or could you ever) place your hands flat on the floor without bending your knees, as shown in the picture? |
| Question 2 | Can you (or have you ever been able to) separate your thumb from your hand and bring it down, touching your forearm, as shown in the picture? |
| Question 3 | When you were a child while playing, were you ever able to contort your body or spread your legs wide open, as shown in the picture? |
| Question 4 | As a child, on one or more occasions, have you ever dislocated (or popped out of place) your shoulder or kneecap? |
| Question 5 | Do you consider yourself very flexible or very elastic? |
| Acknowledgments | Thank you very much for your participation. If you have any questions about this questionnaire, please feel free to ask. |
| Qualification | If you marked two or more answers with "YES", this suggests joint hyperlaxity. |
