How could you describe "triple-jointed" in relation to joint laxity and hypermobility? I am asking this question with regards to playing the violin and the difficulty experienced when trying to hold and play the instrument with hyperextensible joints. Thanks!

The 1st answerer got it right.
Double or triple-jointedness are merely daily descriptive and not medical terms.
lf you have hyper-extensible joints,you will learn to compensate by using different support systems like balancing your wrist on something while playing or performing fine motor movements.
Hyper-extensibility is usually of such slight degree that it rarely affects daily life.

There is no medical definition of such a thing because neither one really exists. Flexibility is usually what is implied, but no one other than a Mutant (see X-men) could have double or triple joints.
