EDS finger splints are used to support hypermobile finger joints when instability or pain interferes with everyday hand function. EDS (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) hypermobility is a genetic disorder that affects connective tissues in the body, including the joints, which may move beyond the normal range of motion.
EDS can lead to joint instability and a higher risk of dislocations and injuries. It can affect any joint in the body, including the joints in the hands. Symptoms of hand hypermobility may include joint instability and pain, as well as difficulty performing tasks that require strength or fine motor skills.
