Hypermobility & Ehlers-Danlos
Hypermobility syndrome (also called Joint Hypermobility Syndrome, or JHS) is one of the most common hereditary disorders of connective tissue. The exact prevalence of JHS is unknown, since it can be indistinguishable from Ehlers-Danlos (EDS), specifically EDS-hypermobility type. However, EDS is typically used to describe more severe cases of JHS. The major clinical features of JHS include joints that move beyond their normal range, or weak ligaments and flexible joints. Patients with JHS often experience fatigue and chronic widespread pain in the knees, fingers, hips, and elbows.
