Background In adolescents with non-pathological and pathological joint hypermobility, gait deviations have been associated with pain and fatigue. It remains unclear what distinguishes the non-pathological form of joint hypermobility (JH) from pathological forms (i.e. hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome …

Objective Major issues in children with Marfan syndrome (MFS) are pain, fatigue and joint hypermobility which might influence functional ability. We recently studied these aspects in children with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome hypermobility type (EDS-HT) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD). What can …

New insights into the phenotype of Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) and Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome‐hypermobile type (hEDS) have raised many issues in relation to classification, diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. Within the multidisciplinary team, physical therapy plays a central role in management …

Eén op de drie kinderen heeft in meer of mindere mate te maken met hypermobiliteit van gewrichten. Bij één op de honderd is echter sprake van een ernstige vorm van soepele gewrichten met langdurige klachten. Begeleiding vanaf de vroege kindertijd kan dan veel narigheid in het verdere leven voorkomen. …

OBJECTIVE: To (1) establish the association of the most common reported symptoms on disability; and (2) study the effectiveness of treatment on disability in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome-hypermobility type (EDS-HT)/hypermobility syndrome (HMS). DATA SOURCES: An electronic search (Medical Subject …

PURPOSE: The patients diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Hypermobility Type (EDS-HT) are characterized by pain, proprioceptive inacuity, muscle weakness, potentially leading to activity limitations. In EDS-HT, a direct relationship between muscle strength, proprioception and activity limitations has …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) in Dutch children aged 5.5 years, and to examine the association between GJH and motor performance and development over time. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective cohort of 249 children was recruited. GJH was assessed with the Beighton …

Chronic widespread pain is highly present in patients with the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome hypermobility type (EDS-HT), but up to now, evidence for generalized hyperalgesia is lacking. The aim of this study is to investigate whether pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) at both symptomatic and asymptomatic body …

Generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) is highly prevalent among patients diagnosed with chronic pain. When GJH is accompanied by pain in ≥4 joints over a period ≥3 months in the absence of other conditions that cause chronic pain, the hypermobility syndrome (HMS) may be diagnosed. In addition, GJH is …
