Musculoskeletal assessments -3
~activity intolerance
~anthropometric measurements

bone resorption uses -2
~osteoclasts
~osteoblasts
osteoclasts
moves along surface of bone, dissolves grooves into bone with acid and enzymes, dissolved materials passed through osteoclasts and into bloodstream for reuse by the body
osteoblasts
occurs when bone is injured, added bone strength is required and calcium is elevated in the bloodstream, deposits calcium into the bone
osteoporosis risk factors -4
~sex, female more than male

~start gradually and move slowly
~support the extremity
~stretch the muscle only to the point of resistance
~encourage active ROM if possible
respiratory assessment -6
