| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the preventive effect of daily joint movement time on joint contracture in rats. [Subjects and method] The subjects of this study were Wistar rats. The right hind limbs of all rats were immobilized in plantar-flexion and were divided into four groups with the immobilized times set as 24- (G 1), 12- (G 2), 8- (G 3) and 4- hours (G 4), respectively. The experiment was performed daily for seven consecutive days with the right hind limbs for the designated times. The last day, the angles of ankle dorsiflexion in G 1, G 2, G 3 and G 4 were measured after the casts were removed. [Results] There was no difference in the G 4. [Conclusion] Our results indicated that if the rat is not allowed to freely move for 20 hours daily the ankle joints stiffen.
