• Confusion

  Yet, the existing medical literature on arthrogryposis is sparse and often confusing. [books.google.com]

  Confusion has arisen because the term was used as a diagnosis. The term is descriptive, and the presence of congenital contractures only indicates a clinical sign with multiple underlying causes. [mhmedical.com]

  Target fibers may be confused with central cores, which occur in a congenital myopathy-central core myopathy. In the EMG, large motor units appear as polyphasic or giant motor unit potentials. Denervated muscle is overexcitable. [neuropathology-web.org]

SMA cannot be prevented, but prospective parents can request genetic testing if they may be carriers. Types There are different types of SMA. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Anything that prevents normal movement of a baby in the womb will lead to contracture, where a joint does not have a full range of movement. [ipass.org.uk]
