What can cause your hands to draw up and deform?

Hands can draw up and deform due to various conditions, including rheumatoid Arthritis, which causes inflammation and joint damage, and Dupuytren's contracture, where connective tissue thickens and pulls fingers towards the palm. Neurological disorders, such as stroke or cerebral palsy, can also lead to muscle spasticity and deformities. Additionally, trauma or burns can result in scar tissue formation, affecting hand mobility and shape. Early intervention and treatment are crucial to managing these conditions and preventing further deformity.
