“…The flexed position (Figure 1 A and D) was the most commonly observed among these patients, and could be associated, or not, with ulnar deviation. In addition to wrist alterations, flexion deformities also affected the fingers, a condition that is termed camptodactyly (Tse & Ljungquist, 2014).…”

“…It occurs due to the failure of an embryo to undergo differentiation of parts (Type II), according to the International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand. There is still no consensus regarding its primary cause, but there may be abnormalities in the lumbrical muscles, the superficial digital flexor, the superficial subcutaneous tissue, and the extensor muscle (Almeida, Monteiro, & Lanes, 2014;Aucourt et al, 2012;Tse & Ljungquist, 2014).…”

“…CA may occur secondary to neuromuscular, metabolic, and vascular conditions, alterations to connective tissue, intrinsic pregnancy causes that result in intrauterine growth restriction, maternal diseases, and drug exposure during pregnancy (Jones, Annandale, Al-Koteesh, Polkey, & Lewis, 2008;Kalampokas, Kalampokas, Sofoudis, Deligeoroglou, & Botsis, 2012;Kowalczyk & Felu s, 2016;Valdés-Flores, Casas-Avila, Hernández-Zamora, Kofman, & Hidalgo-Bravo, 2016).…”

Background Congenital arthrogryposis (CA) consists of congenital joint contractures that affect at least two joints in different parts of the body. Approximately, 80% of CA cases are neurogenic, with changes to the formation, structure or functioning of the central and/or peripheral nervous systems. Most abnormalities are triggered either by motoneurons decreased activation in the corticospinal tract or by direct motoneurons injury. There had been few reports in the literature correlating congenital infection in humans with arthrogryposis until 2015. CA has recently been described associated with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS). Methods The objective of this study was to investigate and describe accurately the arthrogrypotic alterations in infants diagnosed with CZS and thus, suggest a possible pattern of orthopedic impairment. A total of 198 medical records of infants with CZS were evaluated. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 17 infants were included in the present study. Arthrogrypotic joints were orthopedically evaluated in four segments: right, left, upper, and lower limbs. All the four segments were assessed independently. Results Flexed wrists were the most frequently observed manifestation, associated with ulnar deviation (35.29%). Deformities were also commonly found in the third and fourth fingers (64.70%). Hip dislocation was found in 58.82% of the patients and talipes equinovarus and equinovalgus ankles were found in 29.41 and 23.52%. Conclusion There was a particular pattern of joint impairment related to CZS and arthogrypotic alterations of infants evaluated in this study.

Arthrogryposis is a rare, multiple, congenital syndrome of non-progressive nature characterized by a series of genetic malformations, as well as stiffness and joint contractures. This is a clinical case study whose objective is to describe speech-language pathology disorders through the evaluation process in a case of arthrogryposis in Pediatrics. The medical records of a patient were analyzed from birth. A complete clinical evaluation of pediatric dysphagia was performed, establishing a diagnosis of severe oropharyngeal dysphagia evidenced by functional and structural impairments. Hearing loss was detected in association with this condition.

Characterization of a group unrelated patients with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita

Abstract: It is important to establish patient-specific physical therapy and rehabilitation programs. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary, with medical, surgical, rehabilitation, social and psychological care, including genetic counseling.
