A member asked:
I recently heard of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. can you tell me what that is?

Contracted joints: Patients with that condition are born with contractures in one or more of their joints and so are unable to move their joints normally. There is not a real great approach to the problem as surgery has a very limited benefit.
