Full textForskning har visat att individer som upplever negativt bemötande inom vården har mindre vårdkontakt. Ehlers-Danlos syndrom är en utmaning för vården att diagnostisera och behandla vilket en studie visar fört med sig att patienterna undviker vården med sämre hälsa som följd, något som kan bero på erfarenheter av negativt bemötande. Syftet med denna studie är att ge en beskrivning av hur individer med Ehlers-Danlos syndrom upplever bemötande inom primärvården. Två frågeställningar formulerades: Upplever individer med Ehlers-Danlos syndrom god tillgänglighet av vård? och Hur upplever individer med Ehlers-Danlos syndrom bemötande inom primärvården? En elektronisk enkät skickades ut via sociala medier till patientgrupper med Ehlers-Danlos syndrom där Ehlers-Danlos Riksförbund bistod i distribueringen. Antalet som svarade var 521 stycken av ett estimerat antal om 814 vuxna individer med Ehlers-Danlos syndrom i Sverige. Resultatet visar att 477 individer någon gång upplevt kränkande eller förminskande bemötande av behandlande läkare. Majoriteten rapporterar dåligt bemötande och låg tillgänglighet av tider till primärvården. Resultatet visar dessutom att genomsnittstiden för diagnos ligger på 15,28 år.

Full textProteoglycans (PGs) are major components of cell plasma membranes and extracellular matrix. These macromolecules play an important role in matrix organization of connective tissues and in cell signaling or embryonic and post-natal development. PGs are composed of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains covalently attached to a core protein through a tetrasaccharide linkage ßGlucuronic acid-ß1,3-Galactose-ß1,3-Galactose-ß1,4-Xylose-ß1-O-ß. The addition of the third residue (galactose) is catalyzed by the ß1,3-Galactosyltransferase 6 (ß3GalT6), a key glycosyltransferase in GAG initiation. Our group and others discovered that mutations of ß3GalT6 are associated to a spondylodysplastic form of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (spEDS), a severe connective tissue disorder characterized by skin and bone fragility, musculoskeletal malformations, delayed wound healing, joint hyperlaxity and intellectual disabilities. The objectives of this project is to understand the functional and structural consequences of ß3GalT6 mutations in the development of spEDS, (i) achieving the molecular and functional characterization of the recombinant human β3GalT6 and (ii) to develop cellular models (as ß3GalT6 KO cells) to study the impact of genetic deficiency on cells metabolism, precisely on GAGs synthesis. The first part of the project is dedicated to the determination of mutation impact on the ß3GalT6 function. For this, we produce and purify several truncated soluble forms of hß3GalT6 in fusion to Maltose Binding Protein. The enzymatic activity tests have determined a KM of 30 µM and a kcat of 0,05 min-1 on wild-type enzyme. ß3GalT6 mutants will be further analyzed using the same approach. The second part of the project is achieving to develop a ß3GalT6 deficient cell model using the CRISPR/Cas 9 technology. Deficient clones obtained present (i) a low level of RNA expression, (ii) an absence of galactosyltransferase activity and (iii) a defect on endogenous GAG synthesis or with exogenous substrate. We also analyze the capacity for WT β3GalT6 and two mutants (Asp207His and Gly217Ser) to restore GAGs synthesis in deficient cells. From this work, we better understand the implication of β3GalT6 in the pathology of spEDS and relationships between ß3GalT6 loss of function, cellular consequences of genetic defect. Those results linked with the severity of spEDS clinical symptoms observed in patients, would help clinicians with management and clinical monitoring of spEDS patients

Full textProteoglycans (PGs) play important roles in many physiological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. PGs are composed of linear heteropolysaccharide chains, called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are covalently attached to a core protein through a tetrasaccharide linkage. The addition of the third residue (galactose) of the linkage is catalyzed by ß1,3-galactosyltransferase 6 (ß3GalT6), a key glycosyltransferase in GAG initiation. Recently, mutations of ß3GalT6 have been associated to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a group of rare and severe genetic connective tissue disorders. However, the role of ß3GalT6 defects in EDS pathogeny remains unknown. In my thesis, we showed that ß3GalT6 defective dermal fibroblasts of affected patients exhibited a marked reduction in GAG anabolism associated to a significant delay in wound closure compared to control cells. The ß3GalT6 gain- and loss-of-function studies demonstrated that B3GALT6 gene deletion in control fibroblasts affects the synthesis of GAGs chains. Interestingly, GAG anabolism and cell migration were restored when ß3GalT6 is overexpressed in patient fibroblasts, which could be the starting point to the development of therapeutic strategies against the loss of GAG synthesis and defect of cell migration observed in EDS. This work provides a better understanding of the crucial role of ß3GalT6 in EDS pathogeny

Full textVascular Elhers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is an autosomal dominant genetic vascular disease, affecting the collagen type III, a component in the extracellular matrix of the arterial wall. Patients with vEDS are prone to arterial, intestine or uterine ruptures, which explain the severity of the disease. Mutations in COL3A1, gene encoding for collagen type III are usually heterozygous missense mutations responsible for the substitution of a glycine amino acid for another, which affects the triple helical conformational structure of the collagen type III. Variants of a splice site, deletions/insertions, are also encountered, and more rarely missense mutations not affecting a glycine residue, or alterations responsible for haploinsufficiency. The COL3A1 mutations are almost exclusively private, and a genotype/phenotype correlation has not been clearly studied. We reported the experience of the French reference center for vEDS of 215 patients and found a greater severity of the disease in those with a glycine substitution, or in frame insertion / deletion within the triple helix domain than in other genotypes: responsible variants of haploinsufficiency, missense variants not affecting glycine, or alteration of the N- or C-terminal ends. Furthermore, the phenotype of these last three genotype groups did not combine the complete phenotype described in vEDS especially no gastrointestinal complication. To better understand the alteration of the biomechanical properties of the arterial wall of patients with vEDS we used a new ultrasound technology, ultrafastecho, to visualize and measure the pulse wave velocity (PWV) locally on carotids, over the cardiac cycle. The PWV is a marker of arterial stiffness studied in atherosclerosis, and well known to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. We have established normal values ultrafastecho parameters in 102 healthy volunteers and 37 patients with vEDS. This study found no difference in PWV, thus arterial stiffness, in early systole cardiac at diastolic blood pressure. However, in patients with vEDS, weaker stiffening of the arterial wall was observed when blood pressure increases during the cardiac cycle. We continued our explorations by ultrafastecho on a mouse model of vEDS, haploinsufficient for the collagen type III (Col3a1 heterozygous mice). We figured out that Col3a1 heterozygous mice presented the same response profile. Indeed a smaller increase in arterial stiffness while blood pressure was increasing secondary to vasopressor infusion was revealed in the mice compared to the wild mice. In conclusion, alterations of collagen type III in the vEDS affect the biomechanical properties of the arterial wall of the patient, through lower stiffening during the increase of blood pressure over the cardiac cycle. This provides a therapeutic approach for targeting treatment increasing arterial stiffness in vEDS in order to reduce the risk of arterial rupture

Full textTenascin is a family of complex glycoproteins of the extracellular matrix composed offour members: Tenascin-C (TN-C), Tenascin-R (TN-R), Tenascin-W (TN-W) andTenascin-X (TN-X). These proteins have very specific expression profiles in adultwhich are often deregulated during tumor progression. It has been shown that TN-X,in addition to its architectural function within the extracellular matrix, is also able toregulate cell signaling. Indeed, TN-X activates latent Transforming Growth Factor(TGF)-Beta, a cytokine secreted by cells in an inactive form, thanks to its C-terminaldomain resembling to the fibrinogen (FBG-like domain). This domain is highly conserved between Tenascin family members. Thus, we demonstrated that TN-C, TNR and TN-W are also able to activate latent TGF-Beta through their FBG-like domainsin vitro. Such activation presents mature TGF-Beta to cell surface, leading to the activation of a functional TGF-Beta/Smad intracellular pathway. We also found thatFBG-like domain of Tenascins induce cytostasis and trigger epithelial-tomesenchymaltransition in epithelial cells, two responses induced by bioactive TGFBeta. Finally, we started a side project aiming at the characterization of FBG-Xvariations found in patients suffering from classical-like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This study investigates the impact of these variations on TN-X ability to activate latent TGF-Beta

Full textThe influence of physical and sporting activities (PSA) practice on idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate whether such an influence exists and if so, to determine its characteristics. Two hundred and one teenagers with IS and a control group of 192 adolescents completed an epidemiological questionnaire concerning PSA practice. Those practising gymnastics were more numerous in the IS group than in the control group (P < 0. 001). Moreover, the practice of gymnastics was chosen before IS was diagnosed. As gymnastic activities are considered neither as a therapy nor as a precursor of IS, the distribution observed could be linked to a common factor that both increases the likehood of IS and favors the practice of gymnastics. Joint laxity (JL) may be such a common factor, and was therefore tested on 42 girls with IS and 21 girls of a control group. IS patients, practising gymnastics or not, showed a higher JL than the control group practising gymnastics or not. Futhermore, the groups practising gymnastic activities did not show higher JL levels than the other groups. Children with higher JL could be drawn toward gymnastics because of their ability to adapt to the constraints of this sport. Girls with a high JL may therefore be prone to developing IS. The fact that most teenagers with IS practise gymnastics could be related to a higher JL. Thus, the practice of PSA which not alters IS and allows complete rehabilitation of the adolescents with IS could be recommended by physicians and orthopedic surgeons

Full textAbstract Background: Silversplints as orthotic management of finger hypermobility for people with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) has become more widespread in Denmark during the last 10 years, but no articles has yet been published about this orthotic management and population. EDS is a group of rare heterogeneous connective tissue disorders which is characterized by general hypermobility and pain. Silversplints are handmade finger and wrist splints made of silver, which are structured as 3-point force systems, which supports, corrects hypermobile joints, and corrects deformities as well as limits the movement of the fingers. Purpose: The aim of the thesis is to explore how people with EDS experience the use of silversplints and which difficulties they experience in their daily life based on ICF. Methods: The thesis uses semi-structured interviews to explore how 3 participants with EDS experience silversplints as orthotic management of hypermobility in the fingers. The theoretical framework is Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, which is an inductive approach and iterative process. Results: From the analysis 4 themes emerged: I am not my disorder, energy consumption, the many faces of pain, a colorful life. Through these themes an insight is gained into the positive effects silversplints may display for some people with EDS. The use of ICF showed that especially functioning and disability was affected. This involves that the body functions and structures are experienced as difficult, which leads to limitations in the participants possibility of activities and participation. Conclusion: The identified themes demonstrates silversplints’ effect on the participants mental and physical health, as well as provides a detailed picture of the participants’ experienced problems and functional capability, with and without silversplints. The thesis identifies which parts, categories, and domains within ICF, people with EDS experience as problematic, which can be used to generate a core set for further research.

Full textClassic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a heritable connective tissue disorder, characterized by fragile and hyperextensible skin, and joint hypermobility. 90% of patients harboured a mutation in the COL5A1 gene, which encode the pro α1(V) chain of the collagen V, that could assemble with the pro α2(V) chain to form the predominant isoform of collagen V, the heterotrimer α1(V) ₂ α2(V). This isoform is expressed in bones, skin and tendons and is able to control collagen fibrillogenesis. Here we described for the first time a mutation, localized in the BMP-1 cleavage site on the α1(V) chain in a patient exhibiting muscular contractures and weakness, an abnormal skin and problems with nerve conductions, which could remind an UCMD pathology, which is normally due to mutations in the collagen VI molecule. We first showed that this new mutation totally abolished the maturation of the pro α1(V) chain by the BMP-1 enzyme but didn’t affect the secretion of the collagen V in the ECM. Analysis of fibroblasts from this patient showed that the collagen V is secreted but that the collagen fibrils are not correctly organized in the ECM of the cells. Our analysis also revealed that fibroblasts migration is affected, compared to wild-type cells and that number, area and length of vinculin-containing focal adhesion are reduced. Interestingly, there is an increase of the autophagic flux in those cells, associated with mitophagy but without ER stress. These data highlight that a mutation in the COL5A1 gene could leads to a new pathology in which skin, muscle and nerves are affected

Full textTenascin-X (TNX) is an architectural glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix. Beyond this role, TNX is also considered as a matricellular protein that is able to regulate the behavior of normal and tumor cells. However, no molecular and cellular mechanism has been described to explain TNX cellular effects before our study. In the laboratory, we showed that the C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain (FBG) of TNX was able to induce the latent transforming growth factor (TGF beta activation. Indeed, the three TGF beta isoforms are secreted as inactive complexes formed from non-covalent bonds between the mature TGF beta and its N-terminal propeptide, called LAP (Latency Associated Peptide). We showed that the FBG domain of TNX physically interacted with the latent TGF beta, in vitro and in vivo, and induced a conformational change of the latent complex to allow its activation into a bioactive molecule. Furthermore, we identified alpha1 beta1 integrin as a cell-surface receptor for TNX and showed that this integrin was crucial for the FBG-induced latent TGF beta activation. We also demonstrated that Meprins alpha and beta, two proteases belonging to the astacin family, could cleave the TNX, thereby releasing fragments containing the FBG domain capable of activating latent TGF beta. Finally, we have initiated a study regarding the biological relevance of latent TGF beta activation by TNX in vivo by analyzing the TGF beta signaling pathway in wild type or TNX-deficient mice

Full textTiivistelmä Solunulkoinen matriksi ei ole ainoastaan soluja ja kudoksia tukeva rakenne, vaan se on dynaaminen osa ihmiskehoa. Kollageenien, solunulkoisen matriksin yleisimpien proteiinien ominaisuudet määräytyvät jo kollageenien synteesivaiheessa ja mutaatiot kollageeneja koodittavissa geeneissä, säätelytekijöiden epätasapaino tai esimerkiksi kollageeneja muokkaavien entsyymien toimintahäiriöt voivat johtaa vaikeisiin kliinisiin komplikaatioihin. Tietyt lysyylihydroksylaasien (LH) muodostamat hydroksilysiinitähteet toimivat kollageeneissa kollageeniristisidosten esiasteina. Ristisidokset vakauttavat kollageenirakenteita ja siten myös kudoksia. LH1 hydroksyloi lysiinejä kollageenipolypeptidien kolmoiskierteisellä alueella ja ihmisellä entsyymin puutos aiheuttaa tyypin VIA Ehlers-Danlosin syndrooman (EDS VIA), jossa potilailla on esimerkiksi etenevää kyfoskolioosia ja yliliikkuvat nivelet. Mutaatiot LH2-entsyymissä, joka hydroksyloi lysiinejä kollageenipolypeptidien telopeptidialueilla, aiheuttavat tyypin 2 Bruckin syndrooman (BS2). BS2-potilaat kärsivät mm. luiden hauraudesta ja niveljäykkyydestä, mutta syndrooma ei yleensä ole letaali. Tässä työssä loimme ja analysoimme geneettisesti muunnellut LH1 ja LH2 hiirilinjat, joiden kyseinen LH-geeniaktiivisuus on hiljennetty. Linjojen avulla halusimme tutkia näiden entsyymien toimintaa ja merkitystä in vivo. Analyysit keskittyivät myös kollageeniristisidoksiin, joita tutkittiin useista poistogeenisten tai heterotsygoottisten hiirten kudoksista. Ymmärtääksemme BS2:n molekyylipatologiaa, tutkimme tässä työssä myös tunnettujen BS2-mutaatioiden vaikutuksia ihmisen LH2-rekombinanttiproteiinissa. EDS VIA:n eläinmallina LH1 poistogeenisillä hiirillä on joitakin ominaisuuksia, kuten lihashypotonia, jotka ovat tyypillisiä EDS VIA:lle, mutta yleisesti oireet ovat lievempiä. Kuten EDS VIA-potilailla, hiirillä on kohonnut valtimoiden repeytymisriski ja aortan seinämän ultrarakenteessa voidaankin havaita muutoksia. Oireita voidaan selittää riittämättömällä kollageenien kolmoiskierteisen alueen lysiinien hydroksylaatiolla, joka muuttaa kollageenien ristisidostilaa kudoksissa. Myös LH2-hiirilinjan analysointi osoitti kyseisen entsyymin tärkeyden ristisidosten muodostamisessa. Jo alentunut LH2:n määrä aikuisissa hiirissä muuttaa kudosten kollageeniristisidoksia ja täydellinen entsyymin puuttuminen johtaa sikiön kuolemaan. Lisäksi osoitimme, että LH2 on erityisen tärkeä kudosrakenteissa, jotka tukevat kehittyvän hiiren sikiön tai sikiön ulkopuolisten kudosten verisuonia. In vitro-tutkimukset ihmisen LH2-rekombinanttiproteiinilla paljastivat, että tunnetut BS2-mutaatiot vaikuttavat erittäin haitallisesti entsyymin toimintaan, mikä selittää potilaiden kliiniset oireet, mutta mutaatiot eivät kuitenkaan aiheuta entsyymin täydellistä inaktivaatiota, mikä voi olla kriittistä potilaiden selviytymisen kannalta

Full textVascular Ehlers-Danlos (vEDS) syndrome is a rare, inherited, autosomal dominant disease that results from mutations in the COL3A1 gene, encoding type III collagen. Patients are mostly affected by missense mutations probably acting through a dominant negative mechanism. A few patients present large deletions or nonsense mutations leading to a haploinsufficient mechanism. These mutations are supposed to lead to a defect in the synthesis and secretion of collagen type III, resulting in arterial wall fragility. Consequently, vEDS is mostly characterized by ruptures/dissections in arteries at a young age, which ultimately lead to premature death. While there is currently no surgical or therapeutic treatments available, a recent study reported the beneficial effect of the beta-blocker celiprolol, which prevents vascular complications in patients.To investigate the vascular phenotype of vEDS, a mouse model of this disease has been generated by the complete and ubiquitous inactivation of the COL3A1 gene. Col3a1-/- mice exhibit severe perinatal mortality and die prematurely from spontaneous vascular rupture. However, Col3a1+/- mice are viable and exhibit no obvious vascular phenotype. To determine the susceptibility of Col3a1+/- mice to develop vascular rupture/dissection, an experimental model of aneurysm induction was used, through the chronic infusion of Angiotensin II (Ang II). Our results showed that Ang II infusion led to severe premature mortality in Col3a1+/- compared to wild type. This fragility was characterized by the development of rupture/dissection in the ascending aorta. These lesions could be caused by the elevation of blood pressure and/or the activation of Ang II signaling pathways. We showed that treatment with a beta-blocker (propranolol) and an arterial vasodilator (hydralazine) reduced the mortality induced by Ang II in Col3a1+/- mice. These results suggest the beneficial effect of adding a preventive treatment inhibitor of Ang II to the beta-blocker treatment recommended in human pathology.Meanwhile, given that a majority of human vEDS cases is caused by missense mutations in the COL3A1 gene, we established a knock-in mouse model bearing a point mutation (Gly183Ser) found in vEDS patients. The preliminary characterization of this model showed that Col3a1+/G183S mice die spontaneously as early as 4 weeks of age from a dissection or rupture of the ascending aorta. However, these mice do not showed any changes of their hemodynamic parameters or aortic diameter. Furthermore, about 20 % of mouse Col3a1+/G183S display wounds in the back and legs. This new mouse model is currently the only that mimic more closely the human disease and could therefore be used to test different therapeutic strategies

Full textHeritable connective tissue disorders are rare diseases affecting the extracellular matrix particularly fibrous components such a fibrillar collagens and elastin. Because these macromolecular components are present in the skin have made it a "window" for the evaluation of abnormalities occuring in inherited states. The aim of this study was to contribute to a better understanding of some of the modifications affecting dermalfibrillar collagens and dermal elastic fibers in pathological states namely : Ehlers Danlos type I, III and IV, Marfan syndrome, Menkes syndrome, cutis laxa and pseudoxanthome elasticum; as compared with healthy individuals of similar age range to provide a data baseline to apraise qualitatively and quantitatively pathologic changes of collagens and elastin coponents in disease states. We conduced also investigations concerning metalloproteases (MMP2 gelatinase A and MMP9 gelatinase B) and their specific tissue inhibitors (TIMP1 and TIMP2) to apraise the balance MMPs-TIMPs this equilibrium suspected out of balance. This aim of work conducted with clinicians was to provide objective data permetting as far as possible to make better diagnosis

Full textProteoglycans (PGs) and their glycosaminoglycan chains (GAGs), play a major role in the architecture of extracellular matrices and are implicated in numerous cell events. The impairment of GAG synthesis and sulfation is involved in degenerative, tumor and genetic diseases, such as the progeroid form of Ehlers-Danlos (ED) syndrome. This inherited disorder is due to mutations of human [bêta]4GalT7 ([bêta]4GalT7) causing a defect in GAG synthesis, associated with severe musculo-skeletal alterations. Indeed, this enzyme catalyzes a key step in GAG synthesis linked to the core protein of PGs and from exogenous xylosides. Our work has been focused on the structural and functional characterization of human recombinant [bêta]4GalT7 enzyme. We combined in vitro and ex vivo approaches to explore the role of amino acids located in 163DVD165, 221FWGWGREDDD230 and 257HLH259 motifs, which are highly conserved within [bêta]4GalTs. The study of the consequences of site-directed mutations on kinetic and functional properties of the [bêta]4GalT7 enzyme allowed us to identify key active site amino acids. Our results indicate that D165 and H257 residues form coordination bonds with Mn2+ divalent cations. Furthermore, we suggested a catalytic role for D228 residue and highlighted a central role of W224 residue via interactions with the donor and acceptor substrates. We also determined the molecular basis of [bêta]4GalT7 mutations associated with ED syndrome. Finally, the study of epigenetic regulation mechanisms by DNA methylation of GAG biosynthesis in human chondrosarcoma cells (H-EMC-SS) revealed the specific hypermethylation of the 3-O-sulfotransferase gene family, associated with the invasive phenotype of these cells. Together, this work paves the way towards innovative strategies in the treatment of arthropathies

Full textCollagen is an ubiquitous protein which plays a central role in the architecture and the mechanical integrity of connective tissues. Synthesized as triple helices, collagen self-assembles into fibrils both in vivo and in vitro to form three-dimensional networks. It is essential to probe this fibrillar organization to characterize tissu remodeling involved in many diseases and guide tissue engineering. Multiphoton microscopy based on second harmonic generation (SHG) is a very specific technique to visualize unstained collagen deep into tissues, with sub-micron resolution. This thesis aims to develop quantitative approaches in SHG imaging of collagen, at both fibrillar and tissular scales. We first showed that SHG microscopy is a relevant tool to measure the dynamics of formation of collagen networks, even at single fibril scale. We also characterized the structure of collagen gels controlled by adding functionalized silica nanoparticles. We then performed correlative electron/SHG imaging on these fibrillar gels. This allowed us to measure the sensitivity of our set-up and to calibrate the response of an isolated fibril as a function of its diameter. In addition, we derived the hyperpolarizability of a triple helix, which validated the additive model used to calculate the nonlinear response of a fibril. Concurrently, we developed specific image analysis to phenomenogically quantify the organization of the fibrillar network at micrometer scale with the view investigate the function/structure relationship in biological tissues. This was validated by characterizing the changes of biomechanical properties in genetically modified mice model of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

Full textEhlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is the clinical manifestation of hereditary connective tissue disorders, comprising several clinical forms. The EDS hypermobility type (EDSh) is characterized by generalized joint hypermobility and variable skin hyperextensibility, which both generate somatosensory impairment. Somatosensory system is, together with visual and vestibular systems, crucially involved in sensorimotor system functioning. The aim of this work was to understand the impact of impaired proprioception on perceptive and sensorimotor mechanisms underlying postural control in EDSh patients. Evaluation of postural control was structured around two approaches. The first one was indirect, and evaluated the sensory mechanism underlying vertical perception. The second one was direct, and used detailed stabilometric analyses to investigate postural control.The first objective of this work was to evaluate how somatosensory impairment affects the contribution of spatial frame of reference (allocentric, egocentric, and geocentric) to visual vertical perception. Two types of tests were conducted to assess the vertical perception with and without visual information (Rod and Frame Test, RFT; Subjective visual vertical, SVV). These two studies showed that somatosensory impairment reduces the contribution of egocentric frame of reference (body axis) to vertical perception. In response, patients increase their visual field dependence, and thus, use preferentially allocentric frame of reference. The second axis aimed to identify sensory strategies adopted by these patients and their repercussion on postural regulation mechanisms. To investigate this question, a thorough postural assessment was conducted, using sensory perturbation and dual-task paradigm, and linear and non-linear analyses. We observed that somatosensory impairment impacts muscular proprioceptive contribution to automatic regulation mechanism involved in postural control. These modifications in postural regulation induce an increase of active monitoring of postural sway. In response, EDSh patients develop a visual dependence, and produce adaptive strategies based on stiffening of corrective mechanisms acting in long term. Finally, two pilot studies were conducted to test the impact of proprioceptive remediation, somatosensory orthoses and sensorimotor rehabilitation program, on postural control of these patients. Both of these two therapeutic solutions seem to induce a beneficial effect on postural control. This effect is reflected by an improvement of postural stability when patients wore somatosensory orthoses, and an enhancement of postural efficiency in response to sensorimotor rehabilitation. However, results also indicate that the immediate effect induced by orthotic device of somatosensory substitution is limited, because it did not help to decrease visual dependency. Hence, these observations allowed us to identify the postural regulation specificities in EDSh patients, and, in a preliminary way, to observe how they change in response to therapeutic solutions based on sensory remediation
