BoneMSK Pt 1 Flashcards
What is a synovial joint and what are examples?
freely moveable joint, lubricated with synovial fluid and surrounded by joint capsule and ligaments. Allows for cushioning.
e.g. shoulder, knee
What is a cartilaginous joint?
-Highlighted by discs which separate bony surfaces
-Allow for small movement
-Bony surfaces covered by hyaline cartilage
-Absorb shock across the joint
-Nucleus Pulposus
What is a fibrous joint?
-Layers of fibrous tissue/cartilage that hold bones together
-e.g. Skull sutures
-Bones near direct contact- No appreciable movement
__________ surrounds joints and gives it strength
capsule
What is a Ball and socket
shoulder and. hip, wide rom
Examples of hinge movement in one plane are ________ and _______
elbow and knee
Condylar jojnt
two articulating surfaces
e.g. TMJ
What is a bursae?
It is a fluid filled sac that surrounds our joints, filled with synovial sac which facilitates joint motion
What are articular structures of the joint?
joint capsule and bone
Ligaments connect
bone to bone
Tendons connect to
muscle to bone
What are the surrounding structures that support the joint capsule?
Bursae, muscle, facia, nonarticular bone, nerve, skin
What are things that you would think of with a pt under 60

What are things that you would think of with a pt over 60

RA
What is the gel phenomenon?
Have periods of daytime stiffness that lasts seconds to a minute or 2 and then it gets worse with movement.
Active ROM

Passive ROM
the patient is being moved by someone else,
P= provider
What are associated symptoms for joints?

Rash
Fatigue
Anorexia
Changes in weight
Generalized weakness
What is the order of the MSK exam?
- Inspection
-Look- inspect for deformity, swelling, scars, inflammation or atrophy
One or Multiple; Symmetry - Palpate
-Locate tenderness and areas of fluid collection
Always palpate bilaterally for comparison - ROM> Muscle Strength Testing
Active»_space; Passive - Special Tests
Always remember to document and check __________ exam distal to injury/complaint and also when applying a splint/cast
neurovascular
When you are palpating, you want to feel ______ AND _________ vs ___________
affected structures, surrounding areas, uninvolved side
What are the 4 signs of inflammation
swelling, warmth, redness, pain/tenderness
Synovial jont involvement _________
swelling,
If the swelling is outside the joint
soft tissues surrounding joint, bursititis, tendon infmallatin/ tendonitits
Warmth
with arthtiris, tendonitis, osteomylititis
Redness
infection, cellulitis, over overlying skin of joint is the least common sign seen when talking about joint involvement. more common in superficial joints like fingers, toes
More likely to see a lot of ______ and ________ when it pertains to joints
swelling, warmth
