The lack of clinical distinction between the hypermobility type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and the joint hypermobility syndrome (a.k.a. hypermobility syndrome).

This resource discusses the challenge of distinguishing between hypermobility type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS), emphasizing that there is a lack of clear clinical distinction between the two conditions. Both conditions share many overlapping features such as joint hypermobility and associated complications, making differential diagnosis complex. The authors argue for a more unified diagnostic approach and suggest that further research is needed to refine clinical criteria and improve diagnostic accuracy, potentially simplifying the categorization and supporting better patient care.
