Causes include muscle dystrophy, immobility (disuse), spasms, cerebral palsy, nerve injuries, paralysis, nerve injuries, etc. Physiotherapy helps improve the range of motion and reduce pain. Passive movements help bring back regular movements. Hydrotherapy, additional splints, and orthotics may be necessitated based on the degree of the problem.
