Abstract in brief

  • This article discusses the increasing focus on joint hypermobility and related conditions, highlighting the updated classification system for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), which now includes more than 20 types and emphasizes the need for unified diagnostic criteria.
  • It explains that joint hypermobility is common in many genetic and acquired disorders, and introduces a simplified way to categorize these conditions, including a spectrum of related manifestations and related syndromes.
  • The authors propose the term "hypermobility spectrum disorders" for patients experiencing symptomatic joint hypermobility that doesn't fit into specific syndromes, emphasizing a broader approach to diagnosis and understanding of these conditions.]
