musculoskeletal ch 24

QuestionAnswer
bone function structure/protection serve as lever calcium storage blood production
axial bones head/trunk bones
appendicular bones extremities shoulder hips
type of bones compact bones spongy bones
type of bone cells osteoblast osteoclasts
skeletal muscle types skeletal voluntary muscles (650) smooth muscle cardiac muscle
types of muscle movements abduction/adduction circumduction inversion/eversion extension/flexion protraction/retraction elevation/depression rotation
fasciculi long muscle fibers (voluntary muscle) joined by connective tissue
skeletal muscles attached to bone via tendon assist with posture body heat allow bodily movement
joint where 2 or more bones meet provide ROM
joint classifications fibrous cartilaginous synovial
fibrous joints joined by fibrous connective tissue immovable ie skull bone sutures
cartilaginous joints joints jointed by cartilage ie. vertebral joints
synovial joints contain space between bones filled w/ synovial fluid bones are jointed by ligaments enclosed by fibrous capsule ie. shoulder/wrist/knees
synovial fluids lubricant that promotes sliding movement at bone ends
ligaments connective tissue joining synovial joints
articular cartilage smooths and protects bones articulating iwht another
bursae small sacs filled w/ synovial fluid (cushion joints)
different cartilaginous joints cervical bones (7) thoracic bones (12) lumbar bones (5) sacral bones (5) coccygeal bones (3-4)
osteoporosis low bone density d/t bone forming cells cannot keep pace with bone destroying cells
osteoporosis risk groups white females age (65+) postmenopausal females underweight individuals Hx fractures malabsorption disease endocrine disease (hyperthyroidism/hypogonadism/hyperparathyroidism) smoking long term glucocorticoid use/PPI
osteoporosis clinical manifestations loss of height over time stooped posture easy fracture back pain (fractured/collapsed vertebra)
why are postmenopausal women at higher risk decreased estrogen level -> decrease bone density = elevated osteoporosis risk
osteoporosis tx bisphosphonates (medication) diet (increase calcium) weight bearing exercise
osteoporosis client education sufficient calcium intake + sufficient protein intake physical activity vitamin D smoking/EtOH avoidance
older adult physical exam considerations some positions for exams may be uncomfortable with decreased flexibility
sternoclavicular joint one of 4 joints in the shoulder where clavicle meets sternum
paravertebral muscles muscles located along the spine
spinal processes should be nontender, well developed, firm/smooth w/ nontender paraspinal muscles
ROM test of lumbar spine bend forward and touch toes (check shoulder/scapula/hip symmetry) flexion and rotation
phalen test holding dorsal side of hands together for 1 minute test for CTS
ganglion nontender, round, enlarged/swollen fluid filled cyst commonly seen on the wrist
rheumatoid arthritis autoimmune arthritis may be swelling in the wrist/finger joints
tenosynovitis infection of flexor tendon sheathes cause painful extension of finger
wrist fracture signs pain/tenderness/swelling inability to hold grip pain that improves and returns as dull ache extreme tenderness when pressure applied
tinel test percuss radial side of wrist on the median nerve tingling/shocking sensation = positive test suggests CTS if positive
dupuytren contracture condition where finger is permanently bent or flexed with inability to extend ring and little finger
signs of hip bursitis pain when moving from standing to lying down pain on palpation of greater trochanter
decrease in hip rotation suggests possible osteoarthritis femoral neck stress fracture
unequal leg length suggest possible scoliosis abnormality in structure/position of hip or pelvis
plumb line inspection front/side = ear -> shoulder -> hip lower extremities = iliac crest -> knee -> patella -> ankle -> toe should be aligned vertically
ballottement test detects large amounts of fluid in knee (in supine position) firmly palpate patella on the top and bottom, if fluid wave or click noted = large amounts of joint effusion positive test in meniscal tears
older adult consideration for knee may have bow legged appearance d/t decrease muscle control
lumbar curve flattening suggest herniated lumbar disc ankylosing spondylitis
ankylosing spondylitis type of spine arthritis, may see lumbar spine flattening
kyphosis hunch back (thoracic spine rounding) common in older clients
lumbar lordosis natural inward curvature of the lower back
scoliosis curvature of spine in S shape laterally
thenar atrophy atrophy of thenar prominence d/t pressure on median nerve seen in carpal tunnel
osteoarthritis degenerative joint disease cartilage wears down with age joint pain
boutonniere deformities flexion of proximal interphalangeal joint and hyperextension of distal interphalangeal joint common in rheumatoid arthritis
swan neck deformities hyperextension of the proximal interphalangeal joint with flexion of the distal interphalangeal joint common in rheumatoid arthritis
acute rheumatoid arthritis Tender, painful, swollen, stiff joints 
chronic rheumatoid arthritis chronic autoimmune inflammatory joint disorder of body joint linings -> painful swelling -> bone erosion + joint defromity severe cases attacks organs
chronic rheumatoid arthritis tx no cure antirheumatic drugs slow progression pain medications
osteoarthritis tx pain medications physical therapy surgery
RA vs OA RA = systemic + rapid progression w/ classic signs of swelling OA = nonsystemic + slow progression w/o swelling
gout urate crystals formation in joints d/t high uric acid content in blood inflammation/pain/swelling of joints
gout complications recurrent gout attacks kidney stone advanced gout w/ tophi
gout risk factor high purine food (increase uric acid) EtOH (decrease renal elimination) sugary drinks obesity/age/men genetics dehydration
flat feet foot w/o arch -> cause pain/swelling on foot surface
acute gouty arthritis metatarsophalangeal joint of great toe affected tender/painful/reddened/hot/swollen
callus nonpainful thickened skin @ pressure points of feet
hallux valgus great toe is deviated laterally and may overlap 2nd toe possible bunion formation @ medial side on great toe joint
corn painful thickening of skin @ bony prominences/pressure points
plantar wart painful warts occurring under callus -> appears as tiny dark spot
osteomalacia SOFTENING of bones
osteomalacia vs osteoporosis softening of bones vs decreased bone density
older client considerations fall risk (proprioception issue or mechanical weakness) osteoporosis/osteomalacia risk -> fracture risk
