What are the types of HSD?

Hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) are connective tissue disorders that cause joint hypermobility, instability, injury, and pain. Other problems such as fatigue, headaches, GI problems, and autonomic dysfunction are often seen as part of HSD.⁠

Four types of HSD are described based on the type of joint hypermobility present:⁠
⁠
🔸Generalized HSD (G-HSD): HSD in which joint hypermobility occurs throughout the body ⁠

🔸Peripheral HSD (P-HSD): HSD in which joint hypermobility is limited to the hands and feet ⁠

🔸Localized HSD (L-HSD): HSD in which joint hypermobility occurs in a single joint or group of joints in the same area ⁠

🔸Historical HSD (H-HSD): HSD in which there is a history of generalized joint hypermobility but without current evidence of generalized joint hypermobility on exam ⁠

Always such an engaged and informed group of parents. Each time I have to dig deeper to bring them new information.

The link between Neurodivergence, medical differences and co-occurring conditions is important information for individuals, parents and medical professionals.
