A member asked:
How would a physician differentiate between benign hypermobility and the hypermobile type of ehlers-danlos syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: Benign hypermobility is just what the term implies. It is mild hypermobility similar to the most benign form of ehlers-danlos. The most severe forms of eds are distinguished by marked hypermobility of joint, significant hyperelasticity of skin and the increased risk of rupture of intestines and the aorta.
