Contracture deformities - Sheri

Posted: Aug 09, 2010

I'm not sure what movement of the joints is being described here..."Contracture deformities with (s/l contraction) of the PIPs and hyperextension of the DIPs." I didn't think "contraction" was a type of movement doctors used to test patients' joints.

contraction - sounds right

I think in this context, "contraction" refers to the shrinkage or shortening of a muscle, rathern than a movement or maneuver.

its contracture deformity - oh my goodness
