Objective Lowered pressure‐pain thresholds have been demonstrated in adults with Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome hypermobility type (EDS‐HT), but whether these findings are also present in children is unclear. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to determine whether generalized hyperalgesia is present …

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 …

INTRODUCTION: Lowered pressure pain thresholds have been demonstrated in adults with Ehlers-Danlos Hypermobility type(EDS-HT), however it remains unclear if these findings are also present in children. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to: (1)determine if generalized hyperalgesia is present …

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 …

Door de vergrijzing, vernieuwde wetgeving en terugtrekkende overheid gaat het aantal mantelzorgers in Nederland stijgen. Florence wil weten of zij veranderingen moet doorvoeren om aan de huidige wetgeving te kunnen voldoen en met welke risico's en kosten zij rekening moet houden. Om deze vraag te kunnen …

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 …

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 …
