<unk> , also known as<unk>  stiff hand syndrome or limited joint mobility syndrome, is a cutaneous condition characterized by waxy, thickened skin and limited joint mobility of the hands and fingers, leading to flexion contractures, a condition associated with diabetes mellitus and it is observed in roughly 30% of<unk>  patients with longstanding disease. It can be a predictor for other diabetes-related complications and was one of the earliest known complications of diabetes, first documented in 1974. In the fingers,<unk>  can cause such extreme limited mobility that the patient is unable to fully extend the fingers in order to flatten the hand. Typically, both hands are afflicted by<unk> , with most patients finding stiffness beginning in the little finger and spreading to the thumb. Most times, just smaller, more fragile joints are affected by it, with larger joints usually only being affected in patients with more severe or more advanced cases of diabetes.<unk>  has been reported in over 50% of insulin-dependent<unk>  patients and approximately 75% of non insulin-dependent diabetes.<unk>  occurs most often among patients with a longer history of diabetes and patients with a history of<unk>  neuropathy.
