Flexible bodies-Restricted lives: A qualitative exploratory study of embodiment in living with joint hypermobility syndrome/Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type.
Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore embodiment as a meaning-making experience in the daily life of Norwegian adults living with joint hypermobility syndrome/Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type (JHS/EDS-HT). The work of Drew Leder and his distinction between bodily dis- and dys-appearance contributes to the description and analysis of individuals' bodily experiences of living with this chronic illness.
