A

a benign, fluid-filled lump that usually occurs on the outer surface of the wrist or hand, sometimes as a result of a past injury.

41
Q

heel spur

A

a calcium deposit in the plantar fascia near its attachment to the calcaneus (heel) bone, causing pain that is often mistaken for plantar fasciitis.

42
Q

hemiparesis

A

a weakness or slight muscle paralysis affecting one side of the body.

43
Q

hemiplegia

A

total paralysis affecting only one side of the body.

44
Q

hernia

A

occurs when tissue, such as part of an internal organ, protrudes through a weak area in the muscle normally containing it.

45
Q

hyperkinesia

A

also known as hyperactivity, is abnormally increased muscle function or activity.

46
Q

hypotonia

A

a condition in which there is diminished tone of the skeletal muscles.

47
Q

impingement syndrome

also known as rotator cuff tendinitis, occurs when inflamed and swollen tendons are caught in the narrow space between the bones within the shoulder joint.

48
Q

innervation

A

the stimulation of a muscle by an impulse transmitted by a motor nerve.

49
Q

insertion

where the muscle ends by attaching to a bone or tendon; in contrast to the origin, the insertion is the more movable attachment, and it is the farthest point from the midline of the body.

50
Q

intermittent claudication

A

(IC) pain in the leg muscles that occurs during exercise and is relieved by rest.

51
Q

muscular dystrophy

A

(MD) is properly referred to in the plural, which is muscular dystrophies; this general term describes a group of more than 30 genetic diseases that are characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles that control movement, without affecting the nervous system.

52
Q

myasthenia gravis

A

a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular junction (where the neuron activates the muscle to contract) and produces weakness and rapid fatigue of voluntary muscles, especially in the eye, face, and throat.

53
Q

myoclonus

A

the quick, involuntary jerking of a muscle or group of muscles.

54
Q

myofascial release

A

a specialized soft-tissue manipulation technique used to ease the pain of conditions such as fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, movement restrictions, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

55
Q

myoparesis

A

weakness or slight muscular paralysis.

56
Q

A

surgical suturing of a muscle.

57
Q

neuromuscular

A

pertaining to the relationship between a nerve and muscle.

58
Q

the loss of sensation and voluntary muscle movements in a muscle through disease or injury to its nerve supply (plural, paralyses).

61
Q

A

also known as partial paralysis, is the paralysis of both legs and the lower part of the body.

62
Q

physiatrist

A

a physician who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation with the focus on restoring function.

63
Q

A

also known as plantar fasciopathy, is an inflammation of the plantar fascia on the sole of the foot; this condition causes foot or heel pain when walking or running.

64
Q

polymyositis

A

(PM) is a muscle disease characterized by the simultaneous inflammation and weakening of voluntary muscles in many parts of the body.

65
Q

the general term for irritation or degeneration of a tendon in any joint, for example in the rotator cuff.

73
Q

A

surgical suturing of the end of a tendon to a bone.
