EDS-HT • Is the most difficult to
recognize due to the lack of clinical diagnostic handles and confirmatory laboratory/molecular tests
• Is the most common EDS variant
• Has a high disability potential
EDS-HT • Quality of life is often poor in adults and
children with EDS-HT
• Associated with chronic, frequently debilitating musculoskeletal pain, ongoing joint hypermobility can lead to severe arthritis and physical limitations

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
• A common, heritable trait being observed in up to 10%–30% of males and 20%–40% of females

Individuals with EDS-HT are characterized by specific plantar pressure patterns that are likely to be caused by the morphologic and functional foot modification

Gait in adults with EDS • EDS-HT group
demonstrated a non-physiological gait pattern
– Shorter step length
– More time in stance phase
– Altered forces at the ankle and pelvis (hip and knee were similar to controls)

Hypermobile women might alter their gait pattern in order to stabilize their knee joint: higher mean activation levels during stance of the vastus medialis (P = 0.049) and lateralis (P = 0.030), and medial gastrocnemius (P = 0.011) muscles

Physical Therapy
• Physical therapy is general accepted as an efficient treatment for musculoskeletal complications of EDS
Keer R, Simmonds J. 2011. Joint protection and physical rehabilitation of the adult with hypermobility syndrome. Curr Opin Rheumatol 23: 131–136
• Physical therapy has limits especially concerning time spent (by both the practitioner and the patient), inter-operator variability, and long-term efficacy

Aspects of Physical Therapy
• Education
• Pain management
• Training/Conditioning: – Posture
– Stabilization
– Strengthening
• Basic concepts: – Mid range of motion
– Motion is lotion

Aspects of Physical Therapy
• Medical/Neurosurgical consultation
• Modules:
– EDS
– Cervical spine instability
– Chiari malformation
– Anterior brainstem compression
– Tethered cord

Cervical spine instability
Exercise • Thought to be the
key component of physical therapy programs for EDS
• Yet, poor outcomes are common
• Avoid lever arms (result in poor joint stabilization)
SOME COMMON PROBLEMS WITH EXERCISE
• Pain
• Fatigue
• Anxiety / Fear Avoidance / Depression
• Compliance
“…. the pain will ease but only when the muscles are strong and fit and are protecting the joints more fully, and when the child is functioning normally both biomechanically and generally…. …. the pain is the last thing to improve and only does so slowly…..

“Waiting for the pain to go before returning to physical activity is not going to work, because inactivity and abnormal movement are the two most important driving forces for the pain”
Maillard & Payne; Physiotherapy and occupational therapy in the hypermobile child. In: Hakim, Keer & Grahame: Hypermobility, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain. Churchill Livingstone, Elsevier, 2010
Muscles crossing hypermobile joints are constantly trying to create stability through the formation of contractures
Clinical Observation
Development of Myofascial Pain
• 18% patients with cervical
myofascial pain are
hypermobile

• In our office, 100% of EDS
patients have a myofascial
component to their pain

DETERMINANTS OF FATIGUE

Sleep
• All 34 patients with EDS presented with sleep-disordered breathing.
• Results in daytime fatigue and poor sleep
• Orofacial growth may be disturbed in EDS leading to sleep-disordered breathing
Guilleminault C: Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome:A Genetic Model of OSA. Chest. 2013;144(5):1503-1511
• Fatigue severity in EDS was significantly correlated with measured and self-reported muscle weakness (r = −0.408 for manual muscle strength, r = 0.461 for hand-held dynamometry and r = 0.603 for self-reported muscle weakness)
• Muscle weakness and pain severity were significant predictors of fatigue severity
Physiotherapy 97 (2011) 170–174
Anxiety, Fear & Depression
• 42% of respondents with tiring and exhausting pain reported taking an anti-depressant medication
• The consequences of a complex chronic pain syndrome inadequately managed by available therapy?
• Lack of recognition and knowledge of the disease can lead to stigmatization and the sensation of living ‘‘a restricted life’’

• 15-year prospective cohort
• 158 subjects aged 16 to 20 years from the general population in a Spanish rural town
• Joint hypermobility syndrome at baseline was found in 29 of 158 subjects (21.1%)
• Cumulative incidence of panic/agoraphobia disorder at follow-up, as main diagnosis, was significantly higher for the JHS group (41.4%) than for the control group (1.9%), with a relative risk of 22.3 [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.6–108.7, Pb.0001]
Kinesiophobia It defines fear of movement
It worsens during physical movement
Amplifies muscular deconditioning
Catastrophizes physical impairment and general exhaustion
Compliance
• Of 364 patients, 73% were referred to exercise rehabilitation, 42% did not complete the ECR and 28% never showed up
• Up to 70% of patients do not engage in prescribed home exercise

Consult a physical and/or occupational therapist to help patients strengthen
muscles and to teach patients how to properly
use and preserve their joints
Only about 4% of physiotherapists admit liking the management of chronic pain patients
Wolff MS et al 1991 Physical Therapy 71:207-214
Patients with EDS-HT (N=79; 8 men, 71 women)
92.4% used medications (mostly analgesics)
70.9% underwent surgery (mainly extremities and abdomen)
Rombaut et al. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2011;92:1106-12
51.9% were enrolled in a physical therapy program, mainly comprising neuromuscular exercises, massage, and electrotherapy
Patients with a high consumption of analgesics, who visited the physiotherapist, or who underwent surgery had a higher dysfunction in daily life
Rombaut et al. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2011;92:1106-12
• Only 33.9% of the patients who underwent surgery reported a positive outcome
• Only 63.4% of patients in physical therapy reported a positive outcome

The ability to sense stimuli arising within the body regarding position,
motion, and equilibrium. Even if a person is blindfolded, he or she
knows through proprioception if an arm is above the head or hanging
by the side of the body.
• Impaired proprioception at PIP and knee joints
• Poor joint kinesthesia and position sense
• Affects multiple body segments
• Impairs balance and posture
• Clumsiness, tendency to fall, fear of falling
