ABSTRACT: The problems of movement apparatus in children, youth and even adolescents aren’t connected with “a weakness of muscles” but with a shortening of muscles, tendons, and capsules which in orthopaedic literature is called “contracture” [1] [2] [3] [4]. The older way of thinking about the problem was based on the conviction that “weak muscles” cause and make problems; we, however, present on many examples that “restriction of movements” doing by shortening of soft tissues makes contracture and incorrect position of joints, body parts, the serious and frequent clinical problems.
