3D Printed Orthosis for Wrist Instability for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Patient

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Hypermobility Type (hEDS)

In brief

This study will determine if using 3D scanning and 3D printing technology to create an orthosis to improve the quality of life for people with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) compared to existing prefabricated orthoses. Orthoses are often used by people with EDS to stabilize and support joints with hypermobile tissues. Improving the quality of life will mean that people can participate in daily self-care and/or recreational activities that they enjoy, such as gardening and cooking. The investigators also seek to find if this orthosis will decrease pain and reduce the number of dislocations and subluxations. All these changes could lead to better mental health, decreasing the fear and anxiety related to dislocations and pain.
