Detailed explanation-1: -After weeks or months of immobilization with a cast or splint, there may be muscle loss (atrophy) in the leg. Physical therapy can help minimize atrophy and prevent it from becoming permanent, as well as recover muscle strength, flexibility and range of motion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Immobilizing muscle results almost immediately in a significant loss in muscle mass and volume. The process of muscle wasting is called muscle atrophy. The muscle enters a catabolic state losing mass and volume, resulting in a decrease in strength and function.
Detailed explanation-3: -Muscle strength rapidly declines during limb immobilization because of a decrease in muscle size and a decrease in tension per unit of muscle cross-sectional area. Muscle fatigability also increases rapidly after limb immobilization.
Detailed explanation-4: -The most predictable consequences of cast immobilisation are loss of bone mineral tissue, substantial muscle atrophy and above all decrease of PA.
