Bates Chapter 23 Flashcards
Freely movable
Synovial (knee, shoulder )
Slightly moveable joint
Cartilaginous (vertebral bodies of the spine, symphysis pubis, sternomanubrial joint)
Immovable joint
Fibrous (skull sutures)
Bursae
disc-shaped synovial sacs that facilitate joint action and allow adjacent muscles or muscles and tendons to glide over each other during movement with reduced friction. They can lie between the skin and the convex surface of a bone or joint, as in the prepatellar bursa of the knee or in areas where tendons or muscles rub against bone, ligaments, or other muscles and tendons, as in the subacromial bursa of the shoulder
Arthralgia
joint pain without evidence of arthritis
monoarticular
If pain is localized to only one joint
oligoarticular or pauciarticular
Joint pain may also involve two to four joints
(polyarticular)
pain in more than 4 joints
gel phenomenon
brief periods of daytime stiffness following inactivity that usually last from 30 to 60 minutes then get worse again with movement?
ligamentous laxity.
excess mobility of joint ligaments, called ligamentous laxity.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
the most active joint in the body, opening and closing up to 2,000 times a day
fasciculations
fine tremors of the muscles
six cardinal movements of the shoulder girdle
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and internal and external rotation
Risk factors for PVD
Amplitude scale
➢4: Bounding, aneurysmal
➢3: Full, increased
➢2: Expected
➢1: Diminished, barely palpable
➢0: Absent, not palpable
Mono articular
Localized
Polyarticular
Diffuse-more than 4 joints
Sciatica
radicular gluteal and posterior leg pain usually caused by impingement nerve roots at the L4–S1 root levels for related neurologic findings). Up to 85% of cases are associated with a disc disorder, usually at L4–L5 or L5–S1 levels.15 Pain associated with forward flexion of the spine, straight-leg raise or seated slump maneuvers, or Valsalva or sneezing is suggestive of underlying disc disease. Leg pain that improves with lumbar forward flexion occurs in spinal stenosis.
cauda equina
S2–S4 midline disc herniation or tumor if there is bowel or bladder dysfunction (usually urinary retention with overflow incontinence), especially with saddle anesthesia or perineal numbness. Pursue immediate imaging and surgical evaluation
ankylosis
Decreased ROM is present in arthritis, joints with effusion, joints with tissue inflammation or surrounding fibrosis, or bony fixation
Articular structures
Articular structures include the joint capsule and articular cartilage, the synovium and synovial fluid, intraarticular ligaments, and juxtaarticular bone
Extraarticular structures
Extraarticular structures include periarticular ligaments (rope-like bundles of collagen fibers that connect bone to bone), tendons (bundles of collagen fibers that connect muscle to bone), bursae, muscle, fascia, nonarticular bone, nerves, and overlying skin.
consider repetitive strain or overuse syndromes, crystal-induced arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, and infectious arthritis.
If age <60 years
look for osteoarthritis (OA), gout and pseudogout, polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), osteoporotic fracture, and septic bacterial arthritis.
If age >60 years,
a leading complaint of patients seeking health care
Joint pain
Superior mesenteric artery
Distal duodenum, jejunum, ileum, ascending and transverse colon (small intestine)
Inferior mesenteric
Ascending colon and cecum (large intestine)
