Stiff contracted ankles and hand after stroke....any insight? - causes of a permanent stiff neck
My mother was admitted to the hospital for 18 months. In the last 18 months of physical therapy was only the traffic was very low. I live across the country and could only once a month. So I spent, you can serve their full time to take advantage. Two pins are in a rigid, blaming "position operates drilling. Even in 3 fingers of his right hand into his palm. I'm trying to see if I can do anything in order to remedy it. I've heard you can have a correct quantity of work and patience. I have heard that these contractures are also durable. I do not know what to believe. I read that it is permanent, if the contraction was caused by the immobility after trauma, but her contractions by immobility caused, after several moves, no trauma. None of the members are paralyzed. Thank you!

If you spastisity dense may be difficult to address. However, some improvements serial casting, immobilization Progressive static (like a rail JAS), etc. However, it seems that the contraction is well advanced for this type of work.
Without knowing more about your medical condition (for example, is that with spasticity or simply due to inactivity ... and if not paralyzed, I suspect, spasticity), which is difficult for me to say security.
When spasticity is a problem, Botox, Baclofen, or other antispasmotics can be recommended. A neurologist or physiatrist May at far better advice on this point.
Otherwise, the necessary surgical publications will be in May.
Try to set up tennis shoes on his feet. Points finger is dropped foot. As with the fingers and toes, threw a cloth and placed in the palm of your hand and tap on the fabric. This prevents them from digging into the palm. Contractures can not be 100%, but still a little movement in his legs and hands.
I want to start again ask a nurse health department at home. After a little dress comes in the right hand to his mother, do not dig your fingers into the skin. If it works as good as it should be, try to gently soak the feet and hands in hot water. Allow to dry well, no movement, and laid a thick bandage on his right hand.
