Effect of Skin Resection on the Improvement of Joint Contractures in Rats

The effect of skin resection on joint contracture was determined by comparing the first measurement of range of motion after cast removal and the second measurement after the skin resection. This study aimed to verify that both the joint movement during the measurement and skin affect range of motio...

description The effect of skin resection on joint contracture was determined by comparing the first measurement of range of motion after cast removal and the second measurement after the skin resection. This study aimed to verify that both the joint movement during the measurement and skin affect range of motion. [Subjects] Twelve female Wistar rats were used. [Methods] The right hind limb ankle of each rat was immobilized in complete plantar flexion in a cast. In the resection group (n = 6), the skin of the right hind limb ankle was removed surgically, but not in the non-resection group (n = 6). In the resection group, the first measurement of the dorsiflexion angle was obtained after the cast was removed, and the second measurement was obtained after skin resection. In the non-resection group, both measurements of the dorsiflexion angle were obtained soon after the cast was removed. [Results] Compared with the non-resection group, the resection group showed a significant increase between the first and second measurements of range of motion. [Conclusion] These results show that range of motion is substantially affected by skin, in addition to joint movement, during measurement.
