<p style="text-align:justify;">The chapter deals with the management of ''urustambha'' which literally means stiffness of thighs. Patients present with pain and inability to move pelvis and lower extremities. This is the only disease in which [[Panchakarma]] are contraindicated. It can be misdiagnosed as [[vata]] dominant disorder due to its clinical presentation, however, [[kapha]] and [[meda dhatu]] are main culprits in the pathogenesis. Etiological factors, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, prognosis and treatment of ''urustambha'' are described in this chapter.
