Your health care provider will perform a physical examination and ask questions about your tightness or limited movement, such as:
- When did it start?
- How would you describe it? Where is it located? How bad is it?
- How much movement is there?
- What other symptoms are also present?
Depending on the cause and type of contracture, diagnostic testing (such as an x-ray) may be necessary.
Physical therapy, orthopedic braces, or surgery may be helpful for some types of contractures.
