Description: Arthrogryposis, or arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), comprises nonprogressive conditions characterized by multiple joint contractures found throughout the body at birth.
The term is currently used in connection with a very heterogeneous group of disorders that all include the common feature of multiple congenital joint contractures.
