Arthrogryposis is a broad medical label for a group of conditions already present at birth in which several limb connections are much harder to bend or straighten than expected. This happens because movement in the womb was reduced for one reason or another while the body was forming. It is not one single illness. It is a pattern that can come from different underlying causes and may affect how a person reaches, grasps, sits, stands, walks, or handles everyday tasks.
