Video Summary
Lorann Putnam, an occupational therapist specializing in hand therapy, discusses Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and its effects on the fingers, such as hyperextension at the PIP and DIP joints, leading to dislocations and ligament injuries. She recommends using finger ring splints from various manufacturers. These splints prevent hyperextension while maintaining finger function, flexion, stability, and strength. Discreet options are available, resembling regular rings. Users need to provide their ring size to the manufacturer for a proper fit.
