| Summary: | The Dupuytren disease is a flexion contraction that
usually develops along the years and manifests through the thickening of
the hand skin, the fingers can be also affected, especially the
metacarpophalangeal joints and the proximal interphanageal joint.
The majority of the patients suffering from Dupuytren disease are
males over the age of fifty, being diagnosed with the bending contraction
of the fingers, a major incapacity of using the hand, the capacity of
“grabbing” being highly affected.
An important means of treating this disease is kinetic therapy/
physical therapy that can be used before and after surgery in order to
maintain and increase the functionality of the hand from both muscular
and articular point of view. |
