Get PT 1st! Physical Therapists understand, and research supports, the enormous value of Physical Therapy in the healthcare spectrum Now more than ever, it is imperative for physical therapists to document in such a way to re ect the unique and valuable skills that Physical Therapists possess, and the outcomes that PT delivers The current state of healthcare is dynamic and demanding Service providers face pressures to balance the demands of providing quality service with regulatory compliance, scal, reimbursement, and legal demands, along with high consumer expectations Savvy consumers, referral sources, and payers will choose the PTs and settings that are able to deliver the best outcomes in the most cost effective manner

“Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: A Strength Training Approach to Rehabilitation and Long-Term Management of Hypermobility” is ideal for therapists who want to learn more about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and how strength training can be bene cial for their patients with benign joint hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is an inherited connective tissue disorder that has recently gained attention in the rehabilitation world due to the increased awareness of the diagnosis and limited knowledge on treatments available The problem is this condition can take on a variety of clinical presentations depending on the diagnosed type (I-V), increasing the complexity of treatment
Hypermobility, or excessive joint movement, is a common symptom seen across most types due to the alteration
in muscular physiology which can lead to frequent joint dislocations. These patients often experience de cits in both joint proprioception and muscular strength which can commonly escalate into chronic pain and kinesiophobia This disorder can be very debilitating for patients if not diagnosed and managed appropriately Research is beginning to show that strength training can be bene cial for patients with benign joint hypermobility and is now shifting to look at its effect on the EDS population
This session will help provide information from the literature regarding how to create and implement a strengthening program for a patient with EDS type III- (hypermobility type) for both short-term gains and long-term maintenance-which is extremely important due to the chronic nature of this condition Included will also be a discussion of a variety of exercise suggestions and other emerging interventions that pose possible bene ts for this population.
