A Doctor's Guide to EDS vs HSD: Key Differences Explained

Описание: The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of 13 heritable connective tissue disorders. The conditions are caused by genetic changes that affect connective tissue. Each type of EDS has its own set of features with distinct diagnostic criteria. Some features are seen across all types of EDS, including joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility: https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/what-is...

Hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) are connective tissue disorders that cause joint hypermobility, instability, injury, and pain: https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/what-is...

*The criteria work was concluded in 2016 and published in 2017, hence the name the 2017 Criteria.
