Summary

The goal of this study is to investigate if a Wrist Stabilizing Exercise Programme, WSE, compared to Conventional Intervention use of orthosis in daily activities, HO in persons with Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders, HSD or hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, hEDS, in order to reduce pain and or paraesthesia in the hand.

Participants are persons with HSD and hEDS with symptoms of persistent or intermittent pain and or paraesthesia in the hands for the past three years.

The main question aims to answer

* if the WSE has effect on occupational performance and health related quality of life
* if the WSE has effect on handfunction and handstrength The intervention WSE aimed to improve wrist stabilization and increased grip strength according to a training program.

Researchers will compare WSE and HO to see if there were changes between and within the intervention group, WSE and Convention group.

Interventions

OTHER

Static strength training program or/and Dynamic strength training program of the hand

Four of the five exercises included in the static or dynamic training program were based on holding the weight over the edge of the table and maintaining the position for 10 seconds, then resting briefly and changing to the next position. The training was performed in the following assumed positions, pronation, supination, radial and ulnar position. In the fifth and final exercise, you would squeeze an exercise ball as hard as possible without pain. The starting weight was 0.5 kilogram, and each exercise (1-4) was performed in three sets in the first week. The training increased by one set per week for up to eight sets/week if pain or paresthesia got worsened. If the training worked, the OT and the subject could choose to increase the weight to 1 kilogram and start over with three sets/day and gradually increase the training or switch to a dynamic training program.
