Understanding Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of genetic disorders that affect the connective tissues in the body, which provide support to the skin, joints, and blood vessel walls. In infants, EDS can manifest as hypermobility of the joints, fragile skin, and a tendency to bruise easily.
Early diagnosis is essential for managing symptoms and preventing complications. EDS is often hereditary. This means it can be passed down from parents to their children. While there is currently no cure, early intervention can help manage symptoms and improve the quality of life for those affected.
- Joint hypermobility
- Fragile, easily bruised skin
- Delayed motor development
Understanding Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD)
Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) refer to a range of conditions characterized by joints that move beyond the normal range of motion. In infants, HSD can cause joint pain, frequent dislocations, and delayed physical development. These disorders are often challenging to diagnose, as symptoms can vary widely in severity.
HSD is typically identified through a combination of clinical evaluations and genetic testing. Early management is essential to prevent long-term complications and to help infants achieve developmental milestones. Like EDS, HSD requires a varied approach to care, including physical therapy, pain management, and regular monitoring.
- Joint pain and instability
- Frequent joint dislocations
- Delayed physical milestones
