Arapova contracture: what is it and how to treat it?

Arab contracture is a disease that is characterized by limited mobility of the fingers and hands. This condition is caused by tissue fatty degeneration, which occurs as a result of a disease of the nervous system. The first symptom of arap contracture is limited mobility of the fingers, which gradually worsens over time.

D. A. Arapov, a Soviet surgeon, first described this condition in 1946. The disease received his name in honor of this scientist.

The causes of arap contracture are not fully understood, but it is believed that it is the result of poor circulation in the tissues of the hand. The nerve cells and muscles of the hand begin to gradually die, which leads to limited mobility and deformation of the fingers. It is also believed that genetic factors may increase the risk of developing this disease.

Treatment of arap contracture depends on the degree of its development. In the initial stage, patients may be prescribed physical therapy and medications to improve blood circulation. In more severe cases, surgery may be required to tear ligaments that may limit the movement of the arm.

After treatment of arap contracture, rehabilitation can take quite a long time, and patients may be prescribed exercises to restore mobility in the hand and fingers. However, with proper and timely treatment, most patients successfully restore full mobility of their arms.

In conclusion, Arab contracture is a serious condition that can lead to significant limited mobility of the hand and fingers. Early consultation with a doctor and proper treatment can significantly increase the chances of regaining mobility and avoiding further complications.

**Arapova contracture** is congenital lower paraplegia of varying severity or paresis of the legs with involuntary long-term spastic hypotonia of the foot muscles (due to deep ruptures of the intervertebral discs, tendons and ligaments) without damage to the spinal cord.

This congenital anomaly is associated with calcitonin deficiency in newborns with a lack of vitamin D. It is a rare disease, so there is no standardized treatment regimen for it. In most cases, people with this abnormality require constant physical and social support. Sometimes surgical treatment is used, but this does not guarantee the patient’s complete recovery. Conservative methods for correcting the disease are poorly developed, and patients are forced to resort to surgery to maintain motor activity and eliminate the manifestations of the disease.

Petition In the Nizhny Novgorod region there lives a person suffering from Arapova contracture. My name is Artemy. I am an active employee of the social rehabilitation center "Visit". Our institution helps people with disabilities create a full, comfortable life in conditions that are as close as possible to the lives of ordinary people.

I am concerned about the problems of sedentary, help-dependent people with Arapova's contract
