Q
  • sacs filled with friction-reducing synovial
    fluid
  • they’re located in areas of high
    friction such as the knee.

Q

Grading of Muscle Strength

A

5/5 - Full ROM against gravity and resistance

4/5 - Completes ROM against gravity with moderate resistance

3/5 - ROM completed against gravity only

2/5 - Full ROM with gravity eliminated (Passive motion)

1/5 - Patients attempt at muscle contraction palpable with no joint movement

0/5 - No evidence of muscle contraction

59
Q

Common Musculoskeletal Abnormalities
- plantar flexion of foot with toes bent toward instep
- its results from weakness or paralysis of dorsiflexor muscle
- may stem from prolonged immobility

60
Q

Common Musculoskeletal Abnormalities
- strong painful muscle contractions
- commonly occur on the calf
- result from simple muscle fatigue, exercise, electrolyte imbalance, neuromuscular disorders, and pregnancy

A

Muscle Spasms

61
Q

Common Musculoskeletal Abnormalities
- aka muscle wasting
- results from denervation or prolonged muscle disuse
- also results from aging

A

Muscle Atrophy

62
Q

Common Musculoskeletal Abnormalities
- abnormal crunching or grating heard and felt on the joint
- occurs for patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis
- occurs when patients broken pieces of bones rub together

63
Q

Common Musculoskeletal Abnormalities
- result from malfunction in cerebral hemispheres, brain stem, spinal cord, nerve roots, peripheral nerves, or myoneural junctions within muscle

66
Q

Theses nodes are typically seen in patients with osteoarthritis

A

67
Q

its a chronic systemic inflammatory immune disorder commonly affecting bilateral joints of fingers, wrists, elbows, knees, or ankles as well as surrounding muscle, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels

A

Rheumatoid Arthritis

68
Q

It is a metabolic disorder where uric acid deposits in the joints causing joints to become painful, arthritic, red, and swollen. Skin temperature may be elevated due to irritation and inflammation

69
Q

A round enlarged fluid filled cyst commonly found on dorsal side of wrist. It may be nontender when it develops near a tender sheath. May be painful and may limit joint mobility

70
Q

A group of congenital disorders characterized by progressive symmetrical wasting of skeletal muscles without neural or sensory defects

A

Muscular Dystrophy

71
Q
