It opens ...This is absolutely fabulous information! It opens a whole new perspective on this discussion and, more importantly, reflects the significance of addressing this fundamental area. Your comments are very appreciated and it has stimulated some new thoughts and formulations. I will certainly be expanding into EDS and making more direct links to it in the coming days. You will definitely see something on it very soon. Thanks again for broadening my understanding! I hope you will visit the One Giant Leap facebook page and read the follow up post (Mechanical links to Symptomatic Challenges...). It revolves around MS, but as you have intelligently pointed out, there are direct links to EDS there. Many thanks and keep in touch! Gavin Broomes B.Sc.

I have a genetic connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)and arrived here through googling about cervical instability. Both this and CCSVI are currently being researched in the EDS field and people are getting excited about 'The Driscoll Theory' and 'benign' drug treatments that are relieving symptoms. You might already know about that but I thought I'd say just in case its one of those things where information isnt crossing over between patient groups. And MS/pseudo-MS are in EDS literature as both differential and comorbid diagnoses so you might want to look into whether the links between CP and MS extend to EDS as well. I have symptoms of cranial instability and need to engage my jaw and tongue a lot,interesting that could be compensation as my body does a lot of that to get around weaknesses Thanks for this post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731813357458649991.post-39616108807285973262012-08-13T21:46:57.310-03:002012-08-13T21:46:57.310-03:00Phil!

I have actually had a chance to experiment myself with the tape and contractures. It is very effective with respect to weakness, but contractures are more of a challenge. The way I have formulated is the following: rather than the tape resisting (or working against) the contracture itself, if it is applied with 10-25% stretch (light) it definitely increases proprioceptive feedback. To be more precise, if a join has been contracted for a long period of time (as with Adam's wrists), the representation of the joint in the brain reduces (shrinks)...meaning it is essentially perceived as being "one long forearm" as opposed to being a forearm, joint, and wrist. The tape will stimulate some proprioceptive feedback to the brain and (as it is theorized) potentially help to slow/reverse this shrinking "motor map". I have applied it to contracted wrists recently and am waiting for some feedback. Let me know how your experiment works out...and how it is progressing. Of course, if there is anything I can help you with...just let me know! All the best to you and the family! Gavin Broomes B.Sc.

Will experiment with the pre-cut for Adam's wrists as I am interested in seeing if it effects his contractures of the wrists. I'd be happy with a bit of release...it's my inventor side. Thanks for alerting us to taping...the pre-cut is a god-sent!Phil Dzialohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150881545903849250noreply@blogger.com
