title: [Physical therapy of post-traumatic ankyloses].
abstract: Within the scope of physiotherapy as well as ergotherapy, we dispose of an extraordinary multitude of partly very different therapy methods for prophylaxis and physical treatment of ankyloses and soft tissue contractures. Due to local or anatomic particularities of the individual joints, it is often necessary to change our therapeutic measures in an adequate manner. All therapy methods have to be exactly indicated. They can be applied alone or in combination. In order to avoid therapy failures and to achieve the most favorable result, the treatment has to be adapted at the right moment, with a correct dose, and in a strictly individual manner.
