Diagnosis: EDS Vascular type
In Conclusion
Recommendations
Consider Physical Therapy:
– Strengthening the kinetic chain
– Proprioceptive re-training
– FMS training
Prevent injury:
– Avoid contact, collision sports
– Avoid high dynamic sports
Recommendations
Encourage activity: – Low static, Low to Mild
dynamic
– May recommend sports like biking, swimming,weight-training, golf..
– Patients often excel at certain sports due to“genetic” advantage b/c of flexibility.
– Mild Strength training has show benefits in joint stabilization
Recommendations
Cardiovascular Screening
– ALL patients should get an initial ECHOCARDIOGRAM & AORTIC ULTRASOUND
Every 3-5 years for average patient
Every year for those with
– Aortic Dilatation
– Severe valvular disease
– Severe HTN
– Highly Dynamic sports
Recommendations
Wound closure issues
– Dermabond /steristrips better than sutures
Reproductive concerns
– Pregnancy
– Autosomal Dominant
Provide psychological support
Surgery as last resort.
Final thoughts
Keep EDS in differential diagnosis of the Hyperflexible Athlete.
Still as of 2014, diagnosis made by history and a thorough exam.
Be wary of sports where flexibility is important!
–Gymnastics, wrestling, swimming, figure-skating, cheerleading, dancers
Sometimes athletes despite less than optimal genetics still can succeed if they work hard enough
Thank You!
