5 Questions
Which type of contracture is caused by immobilization and does not involve tissue pathology?
Myostatic contracture
Which type of contracture is associated with hypertonicity and limited range of motion due to a central nervous system lesion?
Pseudomyostatic contracture
Which type of contracture is the result of intra-articular pathology, such as adhesions or synovial proliferation?
Arthrogenic contracture
Which type of contracture develops when connective tissues that cross or attach to a joint lose mobility, restricting normal arthrokinematic motion?
Fibrotic contracture
Which type of contracture is characterized by a large amount of nonextensible, fibrotic adhesions and scar tissue, and can occur after long periods of immobilization or tissue trauma?
Fibrotic contracture
