What is Stiff-person syndrome?
Stiff-person syndrome is a rare and progressive muscular disorder that leads to stiff muscles, as the name itself says, in the arms, legs, and torso region.

According to Hopkins Medicine, this autoimmune disorder can worsen without treatment and though there is no treatment for it, therapeutic measures can help reduce it so that it’s much easier to live with.
