title: A Case Report of an Infant With Arthrogryposis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This case report documents limitations of body structures and function, activity, and participation for an infant with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and reports frequency and timing of interventions for this child.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The infant was followed from 11 days to 9 months of age while receiving occupational therapy and physical therapy on alternating weeks, with orthopedic visits for lower extremity serial casting. Passive range of motion improved and pain scores decreased during passive range of motion. The Patient Specific Functional Scale score increased; The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, 2nd edition, standard score decreased from 9 in locomotion and stationary skills to 3 in locomotion and 8 in stationary skills.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Outcomes demonstrate improvement in impairments of body structures and functions, participation, and some activities, through a program of stretching, strengthening, splinting, casting, and bilateral Achilles tenotomies for this infant with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita.
