These contractures can affect various parts of the body, including the arms, legs, hands, and feet. The exact cause of arthrogryposis is not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.



Since arthrogryposis is not contagious, it cannot be spread through contact or exposure to an affected individual. It is not caused by a virus, bacteria, or any other infectious agent. Therefore, there is no need to worry about contracting arthrogryposis from someone else.



Arthrogryposis is a lifelong condition that requires ongoing medical care and management. Treatment options may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, orthopedic interventions, and assistive devices to improve mobility and function. The specific treatment plan will depend on the severity and specific manifestations of the condition in each individual.



It is important to provide support and understanding to individuals with arthrogryposis, as they may face challenges in their daily lives due to the limitations imposed by the condition. However, it is crucial to remember that arthrogryposis is not contagious and cannot be transmitted to others.
