  • Non-mechanical method for treating muscle contractures
    Patent number: 5225200
    Abstract: A method for the treatment of muscle contractures which relies upon the application of polydimethyl siloxane to the skin over the muscle contracture. This pharmacological treatment does not rely upon mechanical stretch of muscle and connective tissue and therefore, is particularly useful for the treatment of muscle contractures in patients where traditional mechanical methods of treatment are contraindicated due to underlying physical disorders.
