Amyoplasia
Definition
A specific and most common form of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, characterized by the defective muscular development or congenital absence of certain skeletal muscle groups, which are structurally replaced by fatty and fibrous tissue. This severe condition causes joint stiffness, symmetrical limb contractures, and reduced mobility from birth, typically without affecting the patient's intellectual development.
