“…Reasoning for such a high incidence in this population has been predominantly attributed to spasticity induced posturing (Booth, Doyle, & Montgomery, 1983;Singer, Singer, & Allison, 2001). However, this may also be due to injuries such as fractures or dislocations (Lehmkuhl et al, 1990), or heterotrophic ossification (Whyte & Glenn, 1986) and soft tissue shortening as a direct result of immobility and sustained posturing (Singer et al, 2001). The most common sites for development of contractures in the brain injured adult are hips, elbows, ankles, and shoulders (Yarkony & Sahgal, 1987).…”
