40
arthralgia
joint pain
41
ataxia
without reaction to stimulus, inability to coordinate muscles during a voluntary activity
42
decalcification
the abnormal reduction of calcium in bone, often caused by a hormonal disorder
43
dyskinesia
difficulty in movement, common sign of a musculoskeletal disorder
44
dystrophy
a general symptom of progressive muscle weakness that is inherited
45
hypertrophy
the sign of excessive muscle growth or development
46
achondroplasia
dwarfism
47
ankylosis
joints are abnormally stiff and movement is difficult
48
arthochondritis
articular cartilage within synovial joints undergoes inflammation
49
bursitis
inflammation of the bursa sack that cushions joints
50
bursolith
a calcium deposit within a bursa of the foot
51
carpoptosis
also known as wrist drop weakness of the wrist resulting in a difficulty supporting the hand
52
DJD
degenerative joint disease
53
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
children are occasionally born with a disease causing skeletal muscle degeneration resulting in progressive muscle weakness and deterioration
54
epiodylitis
inflammation of the elbow joint
55
gout
sharp pain in the joints of the toes
56
kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis
curvatures of the spine
57
marfans syndrome
congenital disease resulting in excessive cartilage formation at the epiphyseal plates (growth plates)
58
myasthenia gravis
progressive failure of muscles to respond to nerve stimulation
59
myeloma
tumor arising from red bone marrow
60
myocele
protrusion of muscle through the facia due to injury
61
osteitis
when injured or exposed to infection bone tissue responds with inflammation
62
osteogenesis imperfecta
an inherited disease resulting in impaired bone growth
63
osteomyelitis
inflammation of the red bone marrow
64
osteoporosis
abnormal loss of bone density, common result of aging
65
rickets
bones become soften due to the excessive removal of calcium from other body functions
66
Tenosynovitis
Form of tendinitis
67
Arthrocentesis
Surgical puncture into a joint
68
Arthoclasia
Procedure where an abnormally stiff joint must be broken during surgery to increase range of motion
69
Arthrodesis
Surgical fixation of a joint
70
Arthrogram
X-ray after joint surgery
71
Arthrolysis
Joint is loosened of abnormal restrictions such as calcium deposits
72
