Talk:Arthrogryposis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Muscle disorder?
I doubt Arthrogryposis really is a muscle disorder. It is more a joint disorder.
It's both, primarily the tendons and ligameents are affected, being either too tight (contracted) or too loose, but my understanding is (and my son's condition is) that some muscles are not as well developed as they should be. cantis 03:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Management
Shoud the section on management be expanded a bit, provide a few more pointers to items like Hip dysplasia, Club Foot, Physiotherapy, Dr. Ignacio Ponseti (club foot treatment), etc. If parents are coming here for more information this might be usefull? Or is the condition to 'open' and we could be listing items forever? cantis 03:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
