Arthrogryposis

Children born with arthrogryposis (also called &quot;arthrogryposis multiplex congenita&quot;) 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’t have much effect on kids’ movement. More severe forms can fuse together joints, including in the jaws and back. In either case, at 91´óÉñ Children's we have the same goal: To help kids move as independently as possible. We’re here to help your child get around, play and just be a kid.</p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/arthrogryposis.html\" target=\"_blank\">Learn More About Arthrogryposis <i></i></a></p>\r\n"}} id=text-1ca1d3a215 class=cmp-text>
