Welcome to Dhyan Health Care Pvt. Ltd., where we prioritize restoring mobility and improving quality of life for all our patients. Today, we'll shed light on knee flexion contracture, a condition that can significantly impact movement and function, and how our specialized care can help address it effectively.
Understanding Knee Flexion Contracture
Knee flexion contracture is a condition characterized by the inability to fully straighten the knee joint, resulting in limited extension or outright bending of the knee. This restriction in movement can be caused by various factors, including:
- Muscular imbalance or weakness
- Scar tissue formation following injury or surgery
- Neurological conditions affecting muscle control
- Prolonged immobilization or lack of physical activity
Signs and Symptoms
Identifying knee flexion contracture early is crucial for timely intervention. Common signs and symptoms include:
- Difficulty fully extending the knee joint
- Tightness or stiffness in the muscles surrounding the knee
- Walking with a noticeable limp or altered gait pattern
- Discomfort or pain when attempting to straighten the knee
- Decreased range of motion in the affected knee joint
Diagnosis and Treatment
At Dhyan Health Care Pvt. Ltd., we take a comprehensive approach to diagnose and manage knee flexion contracture:
-
Clinical Assessment: Thorough evaluation of medical history, symptoms, and physical examination to assess the extent of knee flexion limitation.
-
Imaging Studies: X-rays or MRI scans may be recommended to visualize the structures of the knee joint and identify any underlying abnormalities.
-
Physical Therapy: Customized exercise programs designed to stretch tight muscles, strengthen weak muscles, and improve joint mobility and stability.
-
Orthotic Devices: Prescription of knee orthoses (braces) or splints to maintain the knee in a straightened position and prevent further contracture progression.
-
Minimally Invasive Interventions: In some cases, minimally invasive procedures such as arthroscopic surgery or joint manipulation may be recommended to release tight tissues and improve knee mobility.
-
Long-term Management: Ongoing monitoring and follow-up care to track progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and prevent recurrence of contracture.
