Ch 22 Musculoskeletal Flashcards
Immobility, consolidation, and fixation of a joint because of disease, injury, or surgery
Most often due to chronic rheumatoid arthritis
EXTREME FLEXION OF THE WRIST
Ankylosis
Inability to perform coordinated movements
Ataxia
Enclosed sac filled with viscous fluid located in joint areas of potential friction
Bursa
Moving the arm in a circle around the shoulder
Circumduction
Dry crackling sound or sensation due to grating of the ends of damaged bone
Crepitation
Flexion contracture of the fingers due to chronic hyperplasia of the palmar fascia
Dupuytren contracture
Moving the sole of the foot outward at the ankle
Eversion
Straightening a limb at a joint
Extension
Bending a limb at a joint
Flexion
Round, cystic, nontender nodule overlying a tendon sheath or joint capsule, usually on dorsum of wrist
Ganglion
Lateral or outward deviation of the great toe
Bunion and hammer toes
Hallux valgus
Moving the sole of the foot inward at the ankle
Inversion
Outward or convex curvature of the thoracic spine, hunchback
Kyphosis
Fibrous band running directly from one bone to another bone that strengthens the joint
Ligament
Inward or concave curvature of the lumbar spine
Lordosis
Center of the intervertebral disk
Nucleus pulposus
Bony projection of the ulna at the elbow
Olecranon process
Surface of the sole of the foot
Plantar
Turning the forearm so that the palm is down
Pronation
Moving a body part forward and parallel to the ground
Protraction
Extent of movement of a joint
ROM
Moving a body part backward and parallel to the ground
Retraction
Chronic systemic INFLAMMATORY DISEASE of joints and surrounding connective tissue
Swan neck deformities in fingers
Typically pain in the mornings but gets better throughout the day
Systemic so its usually bilateral in hands
Rheumatoid arthritis
Nerve pain along the course of the sciatic nerve that travels down from the back or thigh through the leg and into the foot
Sciatica
S-shaped curvature of the thoracic spine
Scoliosis
Turning the forearm so that the palm is up
Supination
Congenital deformity of the foot in which it is plantar flexed and inverted (clubfoot)
Talipes equinovarus
Strong fibrous cord that attaches a skeletal muscle to a bone
Tendon
Contraction of the cervical neck muscles, producing torsion of the neck (wryneck)
Torticollis
