BEST FIXED FLEXION DEFORMITY PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT IN JASOLA-PHYSIONAUTICS Fixed flexion deformity (FFD) is a condition characterized by the inability to fully extend a joint, typically affecting the knee or hip. This deformity can result from various factors, including congenital issues, neurological conditions, or prolonged immobilization. The implications of FFD can significantly impact an individual’s mobility and quality of life. Causes of Fixed Flexion Deformity The primary causes of FFD include muscle imbalances, joint contractures, and soft tissue restrictions. Conditions such as arthritis, cerebral palsy, or post-surgical complications can lead to the development of this deformity. In many cases, prolonged periods of immobility can cause muscles and tendons to shorten, resulting in fixed positions that limit movement. Physiotherapy Assessment A thorough assessment by a physiotherapist is crucial for diagnosing FFD. This typically involves evaluating the range of motion (ROM), strength testing, and assessing functional abilities. Tools such as goniometers may be used to measure joint angles accurately. Understanding the underlying cause is essential for developing an effective treatment plan. Treatment Approaches Physiotherapy plays a vital role in managing FFD through various interventions: Stretching Exercises: Targeted stretching can help lengthen tight muscles and improve ROM. Strengthening Exercises: Strengthening surrounding muscles supports joint stability and function. Manual Therapy: Techniques such as mobilization can alleviate stiffness and enhance flexibility. Orthotic Devices: In some cases, braces or splints may be recommended to maintain proper alignment during recovery. we also have a team of highly skilled and specialized physiotherapist who can treat and manage this condition we also provide this service in new friends colony, zakirnagar, east of kailash and maharani bagh
