Detailed explanation-1: -They contribute to increased disability due to decreased motor performance, mobility limitations, reduced functional range of motion, loss of function for activities of daily living (ADL), and increased pain. The pathogenesis of contractures is multifactorial.
Detailed explanation-2: -Objective: Patients at risk of developing knee osteoarthritis (OA) or those already diagnosed with knee OA may present with a knee flexion contracture (FC). A knee FC can cause pain and can decrease function. By altering lower extremity biomechanics, the effect of a knee FC goes beyond the affected joint.
Detailed explanation-3: -Knee contractures happen due to excessive scar tissue forming within the joints and soft tissues of your knee. Knee contractures are most commonly seen after total knee arthroscopies (TKA) or after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries.
