RISKS
It is the method of
using a splint,
cast, or brace to
secure a joint or
bone in place. This
is done to protect
an injured region
from moving around
while it recovers.

DEFINITION
What is
Immobilization?
DEFINITION
PURPOSE
TYPES
RISKS
Broken bones, dislocated joints,
and wounded soft tissues such as
tendons and ligaments are both
covered and secured by splints,
casts, and braces. Motion is
restricted during
immobilization to allow the
affected region to recover.
It may aid in the relief of
discomfort, swelling, and muscle
spasms. Splints and casts are often
used following surgical operations
to patch muscles, tendons, or
ligaments. Early in the healing
process, this allows for
protection and good balance.

POSSIBLE RISKS OF
IMMOBALIZATION
•
An accumulation of fluid in the lungs or an inflammation in the lungs
may also result from extended bed rest ( pneumonia ).
An inflammation of the urinary tract may also occur as a result of
prolonged bed rest. Blood clots will form in the wounded area on
occasion.
RISKS
•
Skin sores (decubitus ulcers) and skin infection may result from lying
in one position in bed for a prolonged period.
TYPES
•
PURPOSE
Immobilization can necessitate lengthy stretches of bed rest for certain
infants, such as those in traction.
DEFINITION
POSSIBLE RISKS
There is the possibility of decreased circulation if the cast, splint,
or brace fits too tightly.
RISKS
•
Psychological tension may also be caused by immobility. A child who
is confined to a bed with traction can become irritated and bored, as
well as sad, irritable, and withdrawn.
TYPES
•
People who have casts, splints, or braces on their arms or legs will
generally spend several weeks not using the injured arm or leg. This
lack of use can result in decreased muscle tone and shrinkage of the
muscle (atrophy). This loss can usually be regained, however, through
rehabilitation after the injury has healed.
