Muscle contractures after amputation
So you are most probably still in the hospital
after your amputation.
The most important thing to keep in mind in this phase
is to help you prevent development of any contractures.
In this video we will show you
what to keep in mind.
Hi, I am Manali
and I am a physiotherapist.
I am here
at the Ottobock clinic in Mumbai
and I have Derrick with me to help us understand
how you can prevent muscle contractures.
Hi Derrick, how are you doing today?
Hi Manali, I am good. Thank you!
Please tell us something about your experiences.
I have been an amputee since 2017
and as an amputee it is important to know
what muscle contractures are
and how to prevent them.
So let us talk about it!
Derrick, please lie down and make yourself comfortable.
Sure!
A muscle contracture
is a permanent shortening of your musculature,
which reduces the joint mobility.
In order to attain a natural gait pattern it is important
that you can use the entire range of motion of the joint.
Hence it is important to prevent muscle contractures
right from the beginning.
Muscle contractures are formed
by scar tissue tightening,
fascia reduction,
circulatory disorders and inflammations.
However, the main reason to develop muscle contractures
is improper bedding.
You can easily develop muscle contractures due
to insufficient movement of the residual limb
or keeping it in a flexed position
over a long period of time.
Just like that.
You see
my joint is clearly flexed here.
I would not want my residual limb
to be in this position for too long.
Exactly Derrick.
It is important
that we keep it extended as long as possible.
We can only give you general advice.
Your physiotherapist, the nursing staff
and the doctor are in a better position
to individually examine you
and determine your personal health status.
