Question
Answer
Acromegaly   Over secretion of growth hormones, gradual marked soft tissue enlargement and widening/thickening of skeletal bones in the face, jaw, hands and feet Technique Increase  
🗑
Bursitis   Inflammation of the bursa, connective tissue structure surrounding the joint  
🗑
Epicondylitis   Painful inflammation of the muscle and surrounding tissue of the elbow Other names: “tennis elbow” “golfers elbow”  
🗑
Fracture   Breaks in the structures of bone caused by a force, either direct or indirect  
🗑
Gout   Form of arthritis that may be hereditary in which uric acid appears in excessive quantities in the blood, first attacks the first MTP joint Technique: Increase  
🗑
Osgood-Schlatter Disease   Inflammation of the bone and cartilage involving the anterior proximal tibia, injury causes the patellar tendon to detach from part of the tibial tuberosity  
🗑
Osteoarthritis   DJD (degenerative joint disease) non-inflammatory joint disease characterized by gradual deterioration of the articular cartilage with hypertrophic (enlargement or overgrown) bone formation Technique: decrease  
🗑
Osteochondroma   Benign tumor composed of bone and cartilage Technique increase  
🗑
Osteomalacia   (Rickets) Bone softening; lack of bone mineralization because of deficiency of calcium, phosphorus, and or vitamin D Technique: decrease  
🗑
Osteomyelitis   Local or generalized infection of bone and bone marrow usually caused by bacteria introduced by surgery/trauma  
🗑
Osteoporosis   Abnormal loss of bone density and deterioration of bone tissue with an increased fracture risk Technique: decrease  
🗑
Paget’s Disease   Neoplastic bone disease that disrupts new bone growth resulting in over production of very dense, yet soft bone Technique: increase  
🗑
Subluxation   Incomplete dislocation; partial abnormal separation of the articular surfaces of a joint  
🗑
Talipes   Deformity of the foot and ankle, usually congenital; “club foot”  
🗑
Tendinitis   Inflammation of the tendon, usually resulting from strain  
🗑
Osteopetrosis   Increase in bone density, probably caused by faulty bone resorption, resulting from a deficiency of ostoclasts Technique: increase  
🗑
Achondroplasia   A disorder of the growth cartilage in the epiphysis of the long bone and skull; premature ossification, permanent limitation of skeletal development  
🗑
Ankylosing Spondylitis   Chronic inflammatory disease, unknown origin, first affecting the spine and adjacent structures, progressing to eventual fusion (anklyosis) of the involved joints  
🗑
Spondylitis   Inflammation of any of the vertebrae; causes stiffness and pain. Could be caused by traumatic injury, infection, rheumatoid disease  
🗑
Cervical Rib   Rib that articulates with a cervical vertebrae but does not reach the sternum, usually C7  
🗑
Degenerative Disk Disease   Deterioration of a disk  
🗑
Herniated Disk   Rupture of the fibrocartilage surrounding an intervertebral disk, releasing the nucleus pulposus that cushions the vertebrae above and below-considerable pain, damage nerves  
🗑
Hydrocephalus   Abnormal accumulation of CSF within the cranial vault; dilation of the ventricles  
🗑
Osteophyte   Bony out growth, usually found around a joint  
🗑
Pectus excavatum   Depressed sternum; it will embarrass the heart-surgery is required usually for cosmetic reasons  
🗑
Spina bifida   Congenital neural tube defect; developmental anomaly in the posterior vertebral arch  
🗑
Spondylolisthesis   Partial forward dislocation of one vertebrae over the one below it; usually L5 over SI  
🗑
Spondylolysis   Condition of the spine characterized by fixation or stiffness of a vertebral joint  
🗑
Whiplash   Injury of the cervical vertebrae or supporting ligaments and muscles marked by pain and stiffness; caused by acceleration or deceleration movement of the neck  
🗑
Asthma   Respiratory disorder characterized by recurring episodes of paroxysmal dyspnea, wheezing  
🗑
Atelactesis   Partial or full collapse of a lung Technique: increase  
🗑
Bronchiectasis   Irreversible dilation or widening of bronchi or bronchioles resulting from repeated pulmonary infection or obstruction Technique: same  
🗑
Bronchitis   Acute or chronic condition in which excessive mucus is secreted into the bronchi creating cough and shortness of breath Technique: same  
🗑
COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease   Consistent obstruction of airway as caused by either emphysema or chronic bronchitis Technique: decrease  
🗑
Cystic Fibrosis   Most common of inherited disease, secretions of heavy mucus cause progressive “clogging” of bronchi and bronchioles Technique: Increase with severe condition  
🗑
Emphysema   Irreversible and chronic lung disease in which alveoli air spaces become greatly enlarged Technique: Decrease depending on severity  
🗑
Pleural effusion   Abnormal accumulation of fluid in pleural cavity Types Empyema Hemothorax Technique: increase Pleurisy  
🗑
Empyema   fluid is pus  
🗑
Hemothorax   fluid is blood  
🗑
Pleurisy   Inflammation of the pleura surrounding the lungs  
🗑
Pneumoconiosis   Disease of the lung caused by chronic inhalation of dust Anthracosis (black lung) Asbestosis Silicosis Technique: increase  
🗑
Anthracosis (black lung):   caused by coal dust  
🗑
Asbestosis   caused by inhalation of asbestos  
🗑
Silicosis   inhaling of silica (quartz) dust  
🗑
Pneumothorax   Accumulation of air in pleural space, causing atelectasis Technique: same  
🗑
Tuberculosis TB   Contagious disease caused by airbourne bacteria, potentially fatal Technique: usually same  
🗑
