Evaluation of the Effect of Custom Compression Garments on Standing Static Balance in Ehlers Danlos Syndrome

NCT03986229 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Studies have shown the existence of a proprioceptive deficit in patients with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) (genetic pathology of connective tissue with hypermobility, multifactor joint instability). A study dating from 2010 showed a qualitative improvement in disability when wearing compression garments (CG) in this pathology, particularly in the fields of proprioception and balance.

The purpose of this study is to quantify the effect of CG on standing static balance in patients with EDS.

Conditions

  • Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Evaluate the variation in the travel speed of the "center of pressure" with and without compression garments.

Each evaluation will be done according to the following protocol: * Evaluation of the pain * Berg test * One test per condition starting with open eyes * Standardized instructions: * Break about 15 minutes (wash-out) between each test. * Both conditions will be tested on the same day. * Evaluation in an environment free from visual and audible interference.
