Arthrogryposis

Children born with arthrogryposis (also called "arthrogryposis multiplex congenita") have stiff joints that don't move well. This rare condition affects children in different ways. In some cases, it only impacts a few joints and doesn鈥檛 have much effect on kids鈥� movement. More severe forms can fuse together joints, including in the jaws and back. In either case, at 91大神 Children's we have the same goal: To help kids move as independently as possible. We鈥檙e here to help your child get around, play and just be a kid.
