Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) is a condition that causes a newborn to have stiff, crooked, and contracted joints at birth that causes a loss of range of motion in more than one joint (hands, feet, hips, knees, elbows, shoulders, wrists, fingers, toes, the jaw and the spine). This lack of joint mobility is often accompanied by fibrous ankylosis, which is an overgrowth or proliferation of tissue in the joint.1 AMC is a non-progressive condition that is diagnosed at birth. The primary impairments of children diagnosed with AMC are decreased joint movement and decreased muscle strength and bulk 10
Prevalence[edit | edit source]
AMC affects roughly 1 in every 3,000 individuals and is a congenital condition present at birth. The condition affects males and females equally throughout its population. The ethnic tendencies are common in the Asian, African and European populations.
Out of those who have the disease, the incidence of specific deformities are as follows:
- Club foot - 1/500
- Congenital dislocated hips - 1/200 - 1/500
- All congenital contractures - 1/100 - 1/250
- Multiple contractures - 1/3000
