Arthritis Flashcards
deterioration resulting in inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and structural changes to a joint
arthritis
encloses the joint to retain synovial fluid
capsule
lining of joint capsule
synovial membrane
flows within the synovial membrane and provides lubrication
synovial fluid
dense, elastic, fibrous connective tissue that has no blood supply and thus cannot heal
hyaline cartilage
t/f arthritis breaks down hyaline cartilage (articular cartilage) that covers the articulating bone structures within a join
true
chronic degenerative form of arthritis that primarily affects articular cartilage and underlying bone
osteoarthritis
results in bone remodeling and overgrowth at joint margin
osteoarthritis
develops in areas of inflammation or injury
bone spur (osteophyte)
t/f modified activity and therapeutic exercise can slow progression of degenerative changes already existing in the joint
true
-degenerative joint disorder
-most common
-larger joints usually
-pain/stiffness/weakness
-crepitus
-stiffness (<30 min)
-unilateral
osteoarthritis
OA can lead to ,,_ as physical activity becomes too painful and client gets sedentary and cardiovascular functions decline
CAD, DM, HTN
_ is an autoimmune disease that leads to inflammation and thickening of joint capsule
rheumatoid arthritis
failure of body’s immune system causing it to attack itself
autoimmune disease
-systemic (autoimmune disorder)
-bone erosion and joint deformity
-bilateral
-hands and feet
-exacerbation and remission
-smaller joints typically
-prolonged stiffness (> 1hr)
-pain/ inflammation
-fever/loss appetite
-visible diformity
