Peripheral HSD (P-HSD): Affects joints in the hands and feet. Historical HSD (H-HSD): Diagnosed when there is a history of joint hypermobility that is no longer present, along with other symptoms. These classifications help in identifying the specific pattern and extent of joint hypermobility and in determining the appropriate management ...

Most small joint manipulation is done on the hands or feet to hyperextend joints as part of a pain compliance strategy. The basic techniques of small-joint manipulation involve grabbing and bending back one or more fingers/toes and by applying pressure to the wrist/ankle joints that disrupt the interconnectivity of the system of smaller joints within.
