Abdominal compression pathologies are more common in those with connective tissue issues. They are also more commonly found with multiple areas of compression sites. These individuals may also require specialty surgical interventions for the most optimal outcomes. Clinically recognizing this condition and its contributing factors can help with early treatment, prevent the need for surgical intervention in some cases, or lead to better surgical outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Reflect on the research supporting compression pathologies being more prevalent in HSD/EDS
- Evaluate the anatomy involved with compression pathologies
- Interpret the clinical presentation of compression syndromes in an individual
- Integrate the examination techniques in clinical practice to determine the contributing factors for compression pathologies

Chapters & learning objectives
1. Abdominal Compressions in the HSD/EDS Population
Neurovascular abdominal compression is more common in those with HSD/EDS. The sooner this is recognized and evaluated appropriately, the better the prognosis for the individual may be.
2. Contributing Factors in Compression Pathologies
Neurovascular abdominal compressions can include a range of structural, biomechanical, and neurological contributing factors. In this chapter, we review associated presentations that require investigation in individuals suspected of having abdominal compression pathologies.
3. Clinical Presentation of Abdominal Vascular Compressions
In this chapter, we review the common biomechanical, structural, and pressure-related issues seen with compression pathologies and provide demonstrations of patients with these issues.
4. Examination of Contributing Factors
This chapter reviews the examination techniques recommended to consider when screening an individual for compression pathologies. We also review biomechanics, pressure regulation, structure, and breath patterns.
