Symptomatic joint hypermobility is not a barrier to attendance, graduation, or satisfaction for adults participating in a multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation program

Despite the potential for joint hypermobility to pose a barrier to participation in multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs, we found no evidence that patients with a hypermobile diagnosis had less participation in an intensive outpatient pain rehabilitation program. After accounting for group differences in key demographic and clinical variables, there were no significant differences in PRP attendance between hypermobile and non-hypermobile patients. Our results are encouraging regarding the potential for multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs to serve the needs of these patients.

Abstract

Despite the potential for joint hypermobility to pose a barrier to participation in multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs, we found no evidence that patients with a hypermobile diagnosis had less participation in an intensive outpatient pain rehabilitation program. After accounting for group differences in key demographic and clinical variables, there were no significant differences in PRP attendance between hypermobile and non-hypermobile patients. Our results are encouraging regarding the potential for multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs to serve the needs of these patients.
