ADUPUYTREN'S is marked by an abnormal scarring and shortening of the palmar fascia - a tough layer of connective tissue beneath the skin which ordinarily allows tendons to move smoothly when you flex your fingers.
Comparing the biomechanical behavior of normal palmar fascia with that of cords, an increase of residual strain (strain value after complete removal of load), hysteresis loop (area between the loading and unloading branch of the load-strain relationship normalized for strain energy), the time constant, and the viscous stress component was observed.
In December 1831, Dupuytren presented his findings on the contracture of the palmar fascia at the Hotel Dieu.
