Abstract
in English, French

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a group of diseases with joint limitations at two or more distinct joint levels at birth. Joint limitations are not progressive, but the functional consequences have a lifelong impact on patients. In this article we will present the results of our study aimed at evaluating the correlation between muscle fat infiltration on MRI and activity deficiencies and limitations in children with AMC. Our study is one of the first in a pediatric population to establish the link between muscle imaging and functional aspects of AMC.

Title: Arthrogryposes multiples congénitales à l’âge pédiatrique - Corrélation entre IRM musculaire et évaluation fonctionnelle.

Abstract: Les arthrogryposes multiples congénitales (AMC) regroupent l’ensemble des pathologies avec des limitations articulaires à au moins deux niveaux articulaires distincts, à la naissance. Les limitations articulaires ne sont pas évolutives, mais les conséquences fonctionnelles ont un impact tout au long de la vie des patients. Dans cet article, nous montrerons les résultats de notre étude qui vise à évaluer la corrélation entre l’infiltration graisseuse musculaire en IRM et les déficiences et limitations d’activité chez des enfants présentant une AMC. Notre étude est une des premières à établir le lien entre l’imagerie musculaire et les aspects fonctionnels de l’AMC, en population pédiatrique.
