The symptoms listed here may not affect everyone with aEDS, and people with aEDS may have other symptoms that are not listed on this page. This page is intended to provide information about symptoms that may occur in individuals with aEDS and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized medical guidance. Select from the list below to learn how aEDS can affect the musculoskeletal system. Joint hypermobility Joint hypermobility means a joint has a greater range of motion than usual. People with aEDS have generalized joint hypermobility, which means joint hypermobility is present in many areas throughout the body. Hip dysplasia Congenital hip dysplasia, also called congenital hip dislocation, is a condition in which the hip joint is not formed correctly at birth. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball of the femur moves within the socket of the pelvis, allowing movement of the legs. In someone with hip dysplasia, the socket of the pelvis is too shallow to support the ball of the femur properly. This can lead to instability, pain, and problems with walking. Congenital bilateral hip dislocation is a hallmark feature of aEDS. Joint instability A joint is the point where two or more bones connect. Joint instability means the bones of a joint are not held in place securely. This can lead to joint subluxations, dislocations, sprains, and other injuries. A joint dislocation occurs when two bones at a joint separate completely and are no longer touching. A subluxation is a partial dislocation in which two bones at a joint are out of place but are still touching each other. Bone fractures A bone fracture is a partial or complete break of a bone. Delayed gross motor development Motor skills are actions that use specific muscle movements to perform a particular task. Gross motor skills involve large muscle groups, such as rolling, crawling, and walking. Delayed gross motor development means that a child has trouble with gross motor skills that other children their age can do. Low muscle tone Muscle tone is the amount of tension (or resistance to movement) in the muscles. Muscle tone allows us to hold our
