Articular Dysfunction

Articular Dysfunction is a medical condition characterized by pain, stiffness or immobility in a joint due to damage or disease. It involves abnormal mechanical function within the body’s joints resulting from injury, wear and tear, or systemic diseases like arthritis. Articular Dysfunction can occur in any joint of the body including the knees, shoulders, and hips.

This condition represents a spectrum of disorders featuring altered structure or function of articular cartilage and related tissues. The clinical manifestation includes limited range of motion in the affected joint(s), pain during movement or at rest, and often difficulty performing routine tasks. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent further degeneration and complications.

An understanding of biomechanics and anatomy is key in diagnosing this condition. Imaging techniques such as X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans provide valuable data about the extent and location of joint damage. Physical therapy, medication management, lifestyle changes are common therapeutic approaches while severe cases may require surgical intervention.
