Understanding Arthrogryposis

This video gives a superb and easy to understand explanation of what arthrogryposis is.

http://vimeo.com/24626314

Its an interview of Dr. Harold van Bosse from Shriners Hospitals for Children in Philadelphia, PA. He specializes in arthrogryposis and treats many of the former Reece's Rainbow kids who have AMC.

This video was done by Margarget Chaidez. She is making a documentary about AMC called The Sweetest Gift: Living with Arthrogryposis
