A contracture is a condition characterized by the abnormal shortening or tightening of muscles, tendons, or connective tissues, which can restrict movement in joints. This may result from prolonged immobility, injury, or certain medical conditions. Contractures can lead to pain, stiffness, and functional limitations, making it difficult for individuals to perform daily activities. Treatment often involves physical therapy, stretching exercises, or in some cases, surgical intervention.
