Could tight clothing and dance help EDS patients regain balance?

This study tested whether wearing compression garments and doing specific physiotherapy exercises could improve balance and quality of life in people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). Forty patients with hEDS were followed for a year, first receiving standard care, then adding compression garments and proprioceptive physiotherapy, and finally doing adapted physical activity including dance and stretching. The main goal was to see if these treatments improved postural control measured on a force platform.
