Final Flashcards
Compact Bone
Hard bone on the outside
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Genetic condition where bones do not develop correctly
Positional Plagiocephaly
Caused by baby being placed in one position to long or muscle imbalances in the neck.
misshapen skull or flat spots on the head
can be fixed by using a shaping helmet
Axial Skeleton
Stability
Vertebrae, Sternum, Ribs, Skull
Scoliosis
Excessive side to side curvature of the spine
S curve
Kyphosis
Excessive curve in the thoracic spine
Common in osteoporosis
hyperextension at the thoracic spine
head juts out
can impact wheelchair positioning
breathing is more difficult
decreases shoulder ROM
Lordosis
Excessive curve in the lumbar spine
laminectomy
removal of most of the lamina in a vertebra
Appendicular Skeleton
Mobility

Appendicular Skeleton (inferior)
Pelvis, Femur, Tibia, Fibula, Tarsals, Metatarsals, Phalanges
Osteomyelitis
Infection of bone
Synovial Joints
promote mobility over stability

Flexion of the MCP
Hyperextension of the PIP
Flexion of the DIP
Ulnar Drift
MCP’s drift toward the little finger
Origin
Tends to be attached to the more Stationary Bone
Tends to be more proximal to the body
Insertion
Tends to be more distal
Tends to be attached to a more moveable bone
