Human
beings try to realize personally and socially. In the course of these
activities which requiring physical activity in onto-genesis can lead
to restrict mobility of the lower limbs or even dysfunction. In cases
of mechanical fracture, injury, contusions, sprains or changes in or
around the joints can manifest as a lacks of movement. To restriction
of the movement may also occur because of the neurological changes in
such diseases such as: stroke, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve
injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease.
Standing
to long in the same position, when person lies in the bed it promotes
limitations of mobility; could appear sores and contractures of
muscle.
Osteoarthrosis
(OA) which is the most common in older people, are the results of the
interaction on mechanical, cellular and biochemical level. Leads to
disruption of the regeneration processes of articular cartilage and
also subchondral bone layer. These results in degenerative changes of
joints and lead to limitations of the range of motion movement. The
most common restrictions include hip and knee joints, making
difficult to move for old people.
Predisposing
factors for OA is the age above 55 years, the disease is more common
in women. Excess of weight leads to overload of the joints and rapid
attrition of the joints surface. Disorders, acute injuries, chronic
disorders, changes because of heavy lifting, extreme sports are the
most common elements for affecting functions of the joints.
Mobility
limitations can lead to inflammation disorders, aseptic necrosis,
exfoliation of the femur, Paget's disease, neuropathies, iatrogenic
changes, congenital diseases and genetics.
With
age comes a weakening ligament of joints, as well a changes in
articular surfaces. Insufficient amount of movement, poor diet and
over lifting are typical factors which reduce mobility of the joints
in elderly people.
