Wrinkles in sheets do not directly cause contractures. Contractures are a result of prolonged immobility or injury to muscles and tendons, leading to a shortening of these tissues. While wrinkled sheets can contribute to discomfort or skin irritation, they are not a significant factor in the development of contractures. Proper positioning and mobility are key in preventing such issues in individuals with limited movement.
