🗑
Regions of long bones   Epiphysis; Physis; Metaphysis ; Diaphysis  
🗑
Epiphysis =   above growth plate  
🗑
Physis =   growth plate  
🗑
Diaphysis =   shaft  
🗑
Physis in children:   is open (i.e., growth plate)  
🗑
Types of Bone   Cortical; Cancellous  
🗑
Cortical bone =   Compact, makes up 80% of skeleton (e.g., diaphysis of long bones)  
🗑
Cancellous bone =   Spongy or trabecular ; more prominent in spine & pelvis (e.g., metaphysis of long bones)  
🗑
Periosteum =   Highly vascular membrane that covers bone; more prominent in children  
🗑
Bone Marrow =   Source of hematopoietic progenitor cells  
🗑
Highly vascular membrane that covers bone; more prominent in children   Periosteum  
🗑
Source of hematopoietic progenitor cells Bone   Marrow  
🗑
Organic Bone Matrix wrt weight   Organic matrix composes 40% of bone dry wt  
🗑
Organic Bone Matrix =   Type I Collagen, Proteoglycans, Noncollagenous matrix proteins, GFs & cytokines  
🗑
Type I Collagen =   90% of organic matrix  
🗑
Bone strength from:   Type I Collagen (tensile strength); Proteoglycans (compressive strength)  
🗑
Noncollagenous matrix proteins promote:   mineralization & bone formation  
🗑
Growth factors & cytokines =   Interleukins, transforming growth factor  
🗑
Inorganic Bone Matrix =   Calcium hydroxyapatite; Osteocalcium phosphate (Brushite)  
🗑
Mineral components wrt weight   Mineral components compose 60% of the dry wt of bone  
🗑
Metaphyseal - Epiphyseal System   Arises from periarticular vascular plexus  
🗑
Periosteal System   Low pressure capillary system supplies outer 1/3 of diaphyseal cortex  
🗑
Bone maintained by metabolism of:   Ca & PO4  
🗑
Amount Ca & PO4 in bone   99% of Ca & 85% of PO4 found in Bone  
🗑
Needed for gut Ca absorption:   Vitamin D  
🗑
Increases plasma Ca by increasing gut absorption & bone resorption:   PTH  
🗑
Osteoblasts =   Cells that form bone, producing type I collagen  
🗑
Osteoclasts =   Cells that resorb bone  
🗑
Osteocytes =   Cells that maintain bone; make up 90% of mature skeleton  
🗑
Fracture Healing: stages   Inflammation, Repair, Remodeling  
🗑
Fracture Healing: Remodeling stage   Begins mid repair phase; continues for several months  
🗑
Types of Cartilage   Fibrocartilage, Elastic cartilage, Fibroelastic cartilage, Articular cartilage  
🗑
Fibrocartilage   Area for bone & tendon insertion  
🗑
Elastic cartilage   Nose, auricle  
🗑
Fibroelastic cartilage:   Menisci (functions to deepen articular surface & stabilize joint)  
🗑
Articular cartilage:   Hyaline (aids in load distribution & decreasing joint friction)  
🗑
Synovium =   Membrane lines the joint; mediates exchange of nutrients between blood & joint fluid  
🗑
Synovial (Joint) Fluid:   Nourishes articular cartilage; lubricates articular surfaces  
🗑
Bursa:   Fluid-filled potential space over areas of friction  
🗑
Combine into myofibrils:   Actin & Myosin filaments  
🗑
Myofibrils combine into:   muscle fibers  
🗑
Muscle fibers combine into:   muscle fascicles  
🗑
Blood supply to long bones   Nutrient Artery System; Metaphyseal-Epiphyseal System; Periosteal System  
🗑
Nutrient Artery System:   Nutrient a. enters diaphyseal cortex thru nutrient foramen into medullary canal  
🗑
Bone remodeling MOA   Osteoclasts resorb bone followed by new bone deposition by osteoblasts  
🗑
Wolff’s law   Increase in external stress leads to bone formation; removal of external stress leads to bone resorption  
🗑
Change in bone marrow with aging   Red (active) marrow changes to yellow (fatty, inactive) marrow  
🗑
Peak bone mass at age:   16 to 25 y.o.  
🗑
Isotonic contraction:   Constant tension through ROM  
🗑
Concentric contraction:   muscle shortens  
🗑
Eccentric contraction:   muscle elongates  
🗑
Isometric contraction:   Muscle tension with length constant  
🗑
Isokinetic contraction:   Concentric or eccentric contraction at constant speed over ROM  
🗑
Gait Analysis: Width of the gait:   Normal =2-4 in heel to heel; Wide based gaits = instability  
🗑
Gait Analysis: Ctr of gravity:   Normal gait oscillates no more than 2 in. vertically; pain & mx weakness => pt shifts COG over affected hip  
🗑
Gait Analysis: Pelvic shift:   pelvis & trunk shift laterally 1 in. to wt bearing side  
🗑
Gait Analysis: Pelvic shift: in gluteus mx weakness:   lateral shift is accentuated to the side involved  
🗑
Gait Analysis: Length of step:   Ave length is 15 in. With age/ fatigue/ pathology: step is shortened  
🗑
Gait Analysis: Cadence:   Ave cadence is 90-120 steps/ min. With age/ fatigue/ pain: cadence is decreased to conserve energy  
🗑
Gait Analysis: Pelvic rotation:   Normal during swing phase = 40 degrees in leg that is moving forward; if pain or stiffness in hip, pelvis will not rotate normally  
🗑
Antalgic gait:   Limp from pain  
🗑
Wide based gait =   Instability from cerebellar disease or peripheral neuropathy  
🗑
Steppage gait =   Weak ankle dorsiflexors results in increase knee & hip flexion  
🗑
Flat foot gait =   Gastrocnemius/ Soleus weakness (S1-S2 radiculopathy)  
🗑
Back Knee gait =   Quadriceps weakness forces pt to push on thigh w/ hand to try to lock knee in stance phase  
🗑
Trendelenberg (abduction lurch) gait =   Gluteus medius weakness (L5); pt lurches toward weak side to place COG over hip  
🗑
Extensor lurch =   Gluteus max weakness (S1); pt thrusts thorax posteriorly to maintain hip extension  
🗑
Foot Drop =   Weakness of tibialis anterior (L4)  
🗑
