A Post Burn Contracture is a permanent shortening of a muscle or joint. It is usually in response to prolonged hypertonic spasticity in a concentrated muscle area, such as is seen in the tightest muscles of people with conditions like spastic cerebral palsy. A  Post Burn Contracture is is a tightening of muscle, tendons, ligaments, or skin that prevents normal movement. A Post Burn Contracture is develops when the normally elastic (stretchy) connective tissues are replaced by inelastic (no stretchy) fiber-like tissue. This makes it hard to stretch the area and prevents normal movement. Contractures occur primarily in the skin, underlying tissues, muscle, tendons, and joint areas. The most common causes are scarring and lack of use (due to immobilization or inactivity).

A post burn contracture can lead to permanent disability. It can be caused by fibrosis of the tissues supporting the muscle or the joint, or by disorders of the muscle fibers themselves. A state of prolonged resistance in a muscle which does not involve an action potential. Contracture may result from mechanical, physical, or chemical agents.
