Exploring Dynamic Movement Orthoses as a Potential Treatment Option for Individuals Diagnosed with Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder/Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

This study explored orthotists perspectives about Dynamic Movement Orthoses (DMO) usage in the Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder (HSD)/Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos (hEDS) population. After conducting semi-structured interviews and a thematic analysis, results revealed general attitudes about DMOs and their outcomes. While there were limitations in obtaining information pertaining to the HSD/hEDS population specifically, utilizing a translational approach revealed a promising treatment option for a population with low treatment efficacy.
