- Osteoporosis

Structural Causes:
- Disc Pathologies (Herniation, dehydration)
- Kyphosis

78
Q

Skeletal Composition in Aging

A
  • Balance between bone remodelling and resorption changes with age resulting in loss of bone tissue and weakening of bone.
  • Trabecular bone density decreases

Risk Factors Include:
- Inactive lifestyle
- Hormonal changes
- Loss of calcium and either mineral in bone

79
Q

Spirduso Classification of Physical Function

A
  • Physically dependent (debilitated)
  • Physically frail (Activities of daily living [ADL]
    affected)
  • Physically independent (Free from disease,
    however, don’t exercise regularly)
  • Physically fit (Physically active)
  • Physically elite (Masters athletes)
80
Q

Reasons for decreases in exercise capacity during ageing

A
  • Both aerobic and anaerobic power and capacity decrease with age
  • Exercise can decrease rate of decline
  • Aerobic fitness potential (measured by VO2) decreases after 20 years of age, by approx. 0.5%-1% per year

After 75 years of age, rate of decline accelerates due to;
- Loss of muscle mass
- Decrease in maximum heart rate & cardiac
output
- Decline in oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle

81
Q

Decline in oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle

A
  • The ability of skeletal muscle to extract oxygen during exercise decreases with age
  • Caused by a decrease in number of capillaries in skeletal muscle.
  • Therefore, less delivery of oxygen to muscle + decreased capacity to produce ATP = less oxidative capacity
82
Q

Strength decreases by 2%-4% per year in older, sedentary people. Due to?

A
  • 40% of muscle size lost between 20 – 80 yrs
  • Strength related to mass and/or cross-
    sectional area
  • Decreased number of fast twitch fibres
  • Slow twitch fibres preserved due to their
    activity during ADL such as postural control
    and walking
83
Q

Exercise in the Elderly Patient

A
  • 65 +
  • 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity preferably all days.
84
Q

Prescribing Exercises in the Elderly

A
  • Exercise prescription needs to be personalised to the unique medical history
  • Aerobic exercises have numerous cardiovascular and musculoskeletal benefits - Resistance exercise training is the only therapy known to consistently improve muscle mass, strength, power, and quality, as well as overall physical function in older adults.

As a result, when prescribing exercise the following considerations are important:

  • Low-intensity exercise (40%-50% VO2max)
  • Gradual progression
  • Low intensity interval training to avoid early fatigue.
85
Q

Flexibility in the Elderly

A
  • Reduced joint flexibility makes dailt activities such as dressing challenging.
  • Stretching and flexibility exercises improve this.
86
Q

Balance & Proprioception in the Elderly

A
  • Balance and proprioception exercises should be performed regularly to prevent falls.
  • 2 hours per week and should be supervised at first.
  • wide stance/two feet/eyes open/even surface = easier
  • narrow stance/one foot/eyes closed/uneven surface = harder
87
Q

Blood Supply to the Femur

A
  • Head of the femur is supplied by the branches from medial and lateral circumflex femoral artery.
88
Q

Subtrochanteric and intertrochanteric fractures have a better prognosis than intrascapular fractures because?

A
  • The retinacular arteries (i.e. vascular supply) are not disturbed
89
Q

Deaths following Hip Fracture

A

Excess mortality after hip fracture may be linked to complications following the fracture, such as:
- Pulmonary embolism
- Infections
- Heart failure

90
Q

Osteoarthritis

A
  • Land- and aquatic-based physical activities help patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis to reduce pain and increase mobility, muscle strength, joint flexibility, and aerobic endurance.
  • The buoyancy of the water decreases joint loading, which can help decrease pain, and warm water may have a therapeutic effect.
  • Once patients become more mobile, they can transition to land-based exercises.
  • Land-based exercise improves pain and functional aerobic capacity more than aquatic activities
91
Q

Osteoporosis

A
  • Resistance exercises are effective for improving bone mineral density (BMD)

- The broken ends of the bone line up and have not moved out of place.

Displaced Fracture:
- There is a gap between the broken ends of the bone. Repairing a displaced fracture may require surgery.

97
Q

Types of fracture

A

Transverse fractures:
- Breaks that are in a straight line across the bone.

Spiral fractures:
- A kind of fracture that spirals around the bone. Usually in the femur, tibia, or fibula in the legs.

Greenstick Fracture:
- Bone bends and breaks but does not separate into two separate pieces

Stress fractures:
- This type of fracture looks like a crack. Caused by repetitive stress

Compression fracture:
- Occurs when a bone is crushed. The broken bone will be wider and flatter in appearance than it was before the injury.

Oblique fracture:
- When the break is diagonal across the bone

Impacted fracture:
- Occurs when the broken ends of the bone are driven together

Segmental fracture:
- The same bone is fractured in two places, leaving a “floating” segment of bone between the two breaks

Comminuted fracture:
- The bone is broken into 3 or more pieces

Avulsion fracture:
- Occurs when a fragment is pulled off the bone by a tendon or ligament

Pathological Fracture:
- Fracture secondary to pre-existing pathology/underlying disease

Therapeutic Exercise:
Range of motion exercises: Passive, active-assisted, and active exercises to improve joint mobility.
Strengthening exercises: Isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic exercises to improve muscle strength and endurance.
Proprioceptive exercises: Balance and coordination exercises to enhance neuromuscular control.
Functional exercises: Task-specific exercises to simulate real-life activities and improve functional capacity.

Manual Therapy:
- Soft tissue mobilization: Massage, myofascial
release, and trigger point therapy to address
muscle tension and pain.
- Joint mobilisation and manipulation:
Techniques to restore joint mechanics and
improve range of motion.

Modalities:
- Heat and cold therapy: To reduce pain and
inflammation.
