VETCOSED study: efficacy of compressive garments for patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome on shoulder stability and muscles strength.

CONCLUSION: compressive CICATREX SED® jackets are well supported by patients, impact the power of external rotators at high speed (180°/s), and improve joint stability. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Compressive garments made to measure are beneficial to patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Compressive CICATREX SED® jackets clearly improve shoulder stability and help to promote muscle power in shoulder external rotators during high-speed movements. One month of jacket wearing seems to bring no lasting effect on shoulder-rotator power, so the jacket needs to be kept on for the benefits to be maintained.
