What is disuse syndrome

If the amount of exercise is reduced due to paralysis of the ankle, it is easy to cause new disorders. Disuse syndrome is one of them. Regular rehabilitation and exercise are necessary to prevent disuse syndrome. Let's take a closer look at what disuse syndrome really means.

What is "Disuse Syndrome" caused by bedridden?

Bedridden conditions such as illness or injury or prolonged resting can cause muscle weakness in the ankles and other muscles, leading to disuse syndrome. Disuse syndrome, also known as "disuse syndrome," is a cause of various disorders due to a decrease in motor function due to a decrease in the amount of exercise.

What is Disuse Syndrome Disorder?

  • Muscle atrophy (motor dysfunction)
  • Joint contracture (motor dysfunction)
  • Bone atrophy (motor dysfunction)
  • Cardiopulmonary function declines (cardiovascular / respiratory disorders)
  • Aspiration pneumonia (cardiovascular / respiratory disorders)
  • Thromboembolism (cardiovascular / respiratory disorders)
  • Bed sores (others)

Disuse syndrome can cause motor dysfunction and cardiovascular / respiratory disorders.

If you hurt your ankle, you need to rest. However, resting may reduce muscle mass and strength. If you use rehabilitation equipment such as power assist legs wisely, you can expect the effect of maintaining muscle mass and strength even when you are at rest.
