Do patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and/or hypermobility syndrome have reduced number of contractile cells in fascia? Data from a pilot study

摘要

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) as well as hypermobility syndrome (HMS) are among other things characterized by increase joint mobility and-depending on the condition-also by hyperextensible skin and broad, atrophic scar formation. Also decreased proprioception may be present (Remvig et al., 2007).A negative correlation between density of myofibro-blasts and joint mobility has been reported from conditions such as palmar fibromatosis, plantar fibroma-tosis, and frozen shoulder.
