About this trial

The objective of the study is to evaluate the performance of muscle ultrasound sections on antenatal ultrasound between 21-24 amenorrhea weeks for the screening of muscle atrophy, in a sample of low-risk and high-risk pregnancies of congenital multiple arthrogryposis

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Any pregnant woman consulting in one of the two obstetric gynecology departments in connection with the CPDPN (Multidisciplinary Prenatal Diagnostic Centers) of the University hospitals of Lyon or Grenoble.

Mono-embryonic pregnancy.

Gestational ages retained on the first dating ultrasound or the 1st trimester ultrasound between 21-24 amenorrhea weeks.

For women at "high risk": diagnosis during ultrasound of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd trimesters, of an abnormality of position / deformation of one or more joints, and / or an abnormality of fetal movements on screening ultrasound or interrogation (population group at "high risk of AMC").

Disqualifiers

Multiple pregnancies, and / or non-progressive .

Obese women (BMI > 30 in early pregnancy)

Subject in a period of exclusion from another study

Subject under administrative or judicial supervision

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Rate of achievement (success) of all four sections at the extremities

Time frame
72 hours +/- 24 hours

Secondary outcomes

1

Rate of achievement (success) of each four sections

Time frame
72 hours +/- 24 hours
2

Collect the raisons for the failure of achievement of all sections

Collect the raisons for the failure of achievement of all sections (Inadequate foetal position,Insufficient echogenicity, Reasons related to the position of the limbs (full extension or flexion of the elbows or knees, abduction of the shoulder, other), other raison (to be specified)
