THE EVALUATION AND THE REHABILITATIVE APPROACH IN ARTHROGRYPOSIS

Abstract

Amyloplasia or classic arthrogryposis is the most common form of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC). Characteristically congenital contractures are seen in upper and/or lower extremity, normal intelligence, and absence of major systemic malformation and chromosomal abnormality are the main features of classic AMC.

We have reviewed diagnostic and rehabilitative approaches of AMC for a case of 8-months old baby with classic AMC.
