Chapter 50 Dosorders Of Musculoskeletal Function Flashcards
Arthritis
. Primary arthritis
- those affecting body systems in addition to the musculoskeletal system
- resulting from an immune response
. Secondary arthritis
- Rheumatoid conditions limited to a single or few diaarthrodial joints
- Resulting from a degenerative process and the resulting of joint
- irregularities that occur as bone attempts to remodel itself
Systemic Autoimmune rheumatic disease
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- systemic lupus erythematosus
. Systemic sclerosis/ scleroderma
. Polymyositis
. Dermatomyositis
Characteristics of rheumatoid arthritis
. Associated with extra- articular as well as articular manifestations
. Usually has an insidious onset marked by systemic manifestations such as fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, and generalization aching and stiffness
. Characterized by exacerbation and remissions
. May involve only a few joints for brief durations, or it may become relentlessly progressive and debilitating
Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatoid disease
. A group of chronic disorders characterized by diffuse inflammatory lesions and degenerative in connective tissue
- These disorders share similar clinical features and may affect many of the same organs
Treatment Goals for a person with RA
. Reduce pain
. Minimize stiffness and swelling
. Maintain mobility
. Become an informed health care consumer
Criteria for rheumatoid arthritis
. Morning stiffness at least 1 hour for at least 6 weeks
. Swelling of three or mor joints for at least 6 weeks
. Swelling of wrist, metacarpophalangeql or proximal interphalangeql joints for 6 or more weeks
. Systemic joint swelling
. Hand roentgenogram changes or typical of RA
. Rheumatoid nodes
. Serum rheumatoid factor
Result of progressive Joint destruction
. May lead to subluxation
. Inability to the joint
. Limitations of movement
Symptoms of RA
. Fatigue
. Weakness
. Anorexia
. Weight loss
. Low grade fever
. Anemia
Characteristics of systemic Lupus erythematosus
. Formation of autoantibodies and immune complex
. B- cell hyperactivity
. Increased production of antibodies against self and non- self antigens
Characteristics of systemic lupus erythematosus
. The autoantibodies can directly damage tissues or combine with corresponding antigens to form tissue damaging immune complexes.
- autoantibodies . Antinuclear antibodies . Other antibodies . Platelets . Coagulation factors . Red blood cell surface antigen
Categories of clinical manifestations of SLE
. Constitutional . Musculoskeletal . Dermatological . Cardiovascular . Pulmonary . Renal . Neuropsychiatric
Systemic sclerosis
. Autoimmune disease of connective tissue characterized by excessive collagen deposition in the skin and internal organs
. Diffuse or generalized form
- skin changes involve the trunk end proximal extremities
. Limited or CREST variant
- Hardening of the skin is limited to the hands and face
Manifestations of the CREST syndrome
. Calcinosis . Raynaud phenomenon . Esophageal dysmobility . Sclerodactyly . Telangiectasia
Types of seronegative spondyloarthopathies
. Inflammation and involvement of the peripheral joints with an absence of RF
. Ankylosing spondylitis
- Juvenile ankylosing spondylitis
. Reactive arthritis, enteropathic arthritis
. Psoriatic arthritis
Methods of assessing Mobility and detecting sacrolitis
. Pressure on the scaroiliac joints with the person who is forward bending
