Beighton score Being diagnosed with<unk>  syndrome can be a difficult task. There is a lack of wide understanding of the condition and it can be considered a zebra condition. As<unk>  syndrome can be easily mistaken for being double-jointed or categorised as nothing more than perhaps an achy body from lack of exercise, medical professionals may diagnose those affected incorrectly and not adequately investigate the symptoms. Due to these circumstances many sufferers can live not knowing they have it. As a result those affected without a proper diagnosis can easily injure themselves and not take proper care to ensure they go about working safely. The Beighton Score can be used to determine generalised joint<unk>  (GJH) related to<unk>  syndrome. The newer term "generalised<unk> " includes people with generalised joint<unk> , often determined using the Beighton Score, and other symptoms. Those who do not meet the Beighton Score criteria may be diagnosed with historical joint<unk> , peripheral<unk> , or localised<unk> . In comparison to the diagnostic criteria of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, the criteria for hypermobile<unk><unk>  are less strict. However, these criteria are differentiated from criteria of other EDS types and therefore its less-strict criteria are only comparable to the criteria of hEDS. As sufferers of HSD suffer from a considerable amount of discomfort, it is important to focus on the treatment, not the labels. The severity of each condition can be equivalent. In particular, musculoskeletal involvement is a requirement for diagnosis with any form of<unk>  but not for hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Like hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome,<unk> s are associated with orthostatic tachycardia, gastrointestinal<unk> s, and pelvic and bladder dysfunction.
