7. Marden-Walker Syndrome

Another rare condition that causes contractures is Marden-Walker syndrome, a genetic disease affecting the connective tissue. People with this condition often have frozen joints with bones held in a fixed position, but these contractures may improve with time. A curvature of the spine is a common finding, as are facial deformities.
