Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Physical therapy and bracing to prevent muscle contractures and orthopedic management of scoliosis are important components of the care plan.[aanem.org]
Loss of muscle mass ( wasting ). Muscle contractures in the heels, legs. Muscle deformities.[nlm.nih.gov]
Loss of respiratory (breathing) muscle power and involvement of heart muscle becomes life threatening in the late teens or early 20s.[aanem.org]
Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Due to pain, children usually stop using their joints in a normal way and muscle contractures may appear.[symptoma.com]
If maintained for prolonged periods (usually more than 1 month), this abnormal position leads to the shortening (called contracture) of muscles and tendons and to the development[printo.it]
Regular exercise and range-of-motion exercises will help maintain joint range and muscle strength and prevent contractures. Occupational therapy.[uofmhealth.org]
Hemophilia
Since synovitis or articular contracture is an underlying condition of hemophilia, muscle shortening may occur.[physio-pedia.com]
This disease can lead to further symptoms such as: • progressive decreased motion • flexion contractures • muscle atrophy [1] The second most common presentation of hemophilia[physio-pedia.com]
Signs and symptoms of GI involvement include: • Fever • Abdominal distention and pain • Melena (bloody stool) • Hip flexion contracture (iliopsoas muscle spasm due to retroperitoneal[physio-pedia.com]
Muscle Spasticity
All patients had increased muscle tone of the triceps surae (TS) but no muscle contractures.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Spasticity may be associated with muscle / joint contractures, and with abnormal movements. What is muscle contracture? It is a consequence of spasticity.[spastic-hand.com]
Like in the elbow, clinical examination helps to distinguish between spasticity, and muscle contracture.[spastic-hand.com]
Polymyositis
Massage and stretch your muscles. Gentle body massage and stretches may help prevent muscle contractures.[drugs.com]
(contracture).[betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
A contracture is a shortened muscle that makes a joint difficult to move. Eat a variety of healthy foods.[drugs.com]
Dermatomyositis
A small percentage of children with the disorder will become permanently disabled because of muscle contractures and calcinosis.[chop.edu]
In some children, the inflamed muscles become tight and shorten (called contractures).[printo.it]
However, there may be some residual muscle weakness, atrophy (wasting), or contractures (a condition in which joints become fixed in position or limited in range of motion[chop.edu]

Glycogen Storage Disease Type 5
[…] i.e. rapid muscle breakdown with muscle contractures.[symptoma.com]
If activity is continued after symptoms appear, severe, painful muscle cramping and contracture may occur; this may be accompanied by myoglobinuria and can lead to rhabdomyolysis[genedx.com]
Fixed contractures with rhabdomyolysis . Secondary symptoms Raised urate level. Possible muscle wasting. Risk of acute renal failure. Treatment No specific treatment.[agsd.org.uk]
