SOFT TISSUE CONTRACTURE SITES- SUPINE
HIP AND KNEE FLEXORS
ANKLE PLANTAR FLEXORS
SHOULDER EXTENSORS, ADDUCTORS & INT. ROTATORS
HIP EXTERNAL ROTATORS
SOFT TISSUE CONTRACTURE SITES- PRONE
ANKLE PLANTAR FLEXORS
SHOULDER EXTENSORS, ADDUCTORS, INT/EXT. ROTATORS
NECK ROTATORS
SOFT TISSUE CONTRACTURE SITES- SIDE LYING
HIP AND KNEE FLEXORS
HIP ADDUCTORS AND INT. ROTATORS
SHOULDER ADDUCTORS AND INTERNAL ROTATORS
SOFT TISSUE CONTRACTURE SITES- SITTING
HIP AND KNEE FLEXORS
HIP ADDUCTORS AND INT. ROTATORS
SHOULDER ADDUCTORS, EXTENSORS AND INTERNAL ROT
TRANSFEMORAL AMPUTATION
AVOID PROLONGED HIP FLEXION
DON’T ELEVATE ON A PILLOW AS A CONTRACTURE OF HIP FLEXORS WILL DEVELOP
AVOID HIP ABDUCTION TO PREVENT CONTRACTURE OF HIP ABDUCTOR MM
LIE IN PRONE POSITION PERIODICALLY
TRANSTIBIAL AMPUTATION
AVOID PROLONGED HIP AND KNEE FLEXION
DON’T SIT IN A CHAIR FOR LONGER THAN 40 MIN.-DEVELOP CONTRACTURE OF KNEE FLEXORS
KNEE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED IN AN EXTENDED POSITION
HEMIPLEGIA - UPPER EXTREMITY
AVOID PROLONGED SHOULDER ADDUCTION AND INTERNAL ROTATION; ELBOW FLEXION; FOREARM SUPINATION OR PRONATION; WRIST, FINGER OR THUMB FLEXION; AND FINGER AND THUMB ADDUCTION
WILL CAUSE CONTRACTURES CAUSED BY MUSCLE SPASTICITY, REDUCED FUNCTION OF OPPOSING MM AND LACK OF ACTIVE MOTION
HEMIPLEGIA - LOWER EXTREMITY
AVOID PROLONGED HIP AND KNEE FLEXION; HIP EXTERNAL ROTATION AND ANKLE PLANTAR FLEXION AND INVERSION
WILL CAUSE CONTRACTURES CAUSED BY MUSCLE SPASTICITY, REDUCED FUNCTION OF OPPOSING MM AND LACK OF ACTIVE MOTION
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
SYSTEMIC DISEASE INVOLVES MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY THE JOINTS
GENTLE, CAREFUL, AND FREQUENT ACTIVE OR PASSIVE MOVEMENT OF THE INVOLVED JOINTS SHOULD BE PERFORMED SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY UNLESS THE JOINTS ARE IN A STATE OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
BURNS
AVOID POSITIONS OF COMFORT. A POSITION OF COMFORT FOR THE PATIENT WITH A BURN IS THE POS THAT DOES NOT PD STRESS OR TENSION TO THE WOUND OR GRAFT
MOBILE AND CHANGE POSITIONS FREQUENTLY
ORTHOPEDIC SURGICAL CONDITIONS
KNEE REPLACEMENT-KEEP KNEE IN EXTENSION
HIP REPLACEMENT-AVOID EXCESSIVE HIP ADDUCTION, ROTATION AND FLEXION
