Musculoskeletal Flashcards
Flexion
bending
Extension
straightening
Abduction
moving away from body
Adduction
moving toward the midline
Pronation
turning forearm so that palm is down
Supination
turning forearm so that palm is up
Circumduction
moving arm in circle around shoulder
Rotation
moving head around central axis
Inversion
moving sole of foot inward at ankle
Eversion
moving sole of foot outward at ankle
Protraction
moving body part forward parallel to ground (jaw)
Retraction
moving body part backward parallel to ground (jaw)
Elevation
raising a body part (shoulder)
Depression
lowering a body part (shoulder)
ROS
General and Chronic Diseases
Congenital joint/bone/muscle defects
Family history of arthritis
Chronic diseases: obesity, osteoarthritis, osteopenia, osteoporosis, cancer, gout, rheumatoid arthritis
Surgical history
Medications
Any changes to your ability to move around and participate in ADLs and IADLs
Amount of exercise, safety measures when exercising
Routine daily activities, job-related activities, risk of injuries
Diet, tobacco & alcohol use
Osteopenia
reduce bone mass
Osteoporosis
bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D.
Osteoarthritis
degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone, most common from middle age onward. It causes pain and stiffness, especially in the hip, knee, and thumb joints.
ADL (activities of daily living)
bathing, toileting, dressing, grooming, eating, mobility, communicating
IADL (instrumental ADL)
driving, cooking, using household devices
Joints: Five cardinal signs of inflammation
pain, swelling, heat, redness, ROM limitation (stiffness)
Myalgia
Muscle (pain or cramps),
Atrophy
loss of muscle mass and weakness
Bones subjective data
Pain, deformity, trauma/accidents (fractures)
Patient-Centered Care
Musculoskeletal issues affecting life
Self-esteem, independence, body-image, role performance, social isolation
Effects on family and friends
Joints injury
(sprains, strains, dislocation) to any joint
6 Ps of Musculoskeletal Injury
Pain Paresthesia (numbness, tingling) Paralysis/Paresis Pallor Pulse (weak) Poikilothermia (cool)
Preparing the patient
General
-Posture, Gait, Position Changes
Preparing the Patient and Environment
- Hygiene (environment, hands), Standard Precautions Always in Effect
- Proper Room Temperature
- Privacy
- Proper Exposure of The Body Part (only as needed)
Would should you always do when getting objective information?
Inspection & Palpate for inflammation, masses (nodules), injury, deformity, atrophy
Skin
inflammation signs/symptoms may indicate skin problem and/or MS problems
Muscle
Use contralateral side for comparison (asymmetry)
Muscle size (assess for atrophy)
muscle tone (tension)
Strength (0-5) paresis (weakness), paralysis (flaccidity or -plegia)
Involuntary movement (tics, tremors)
Joints
Size and contour of every joint
Swelling, effusion, deformity
Range of motion (ROM)
Range of Motion (ROM): Health promotion
Passive ROM exercise prevents joint contracture
Range of Motion (ROM)
Active- When you move apart of your body using your muscles
Passive- when a outside source causes the movement of a joint
Full-The act of moving as far as anatomically possible during a given exercise
Limited-when you can’t move a joint as fully and easily as it should move
Normal ROM
“full active ROM” for each joint
Abnormal ROM
contracture (no ROM)
full passive ROM
limited active ROM
rigidity
How do you assess Muscle Strength ?
- Instruct to repeat the active 2. ROM against your resistance
3.Assess for symmetry
Grading system
Muscle grading
0- No contraction of muscle (flaccid)
1-Slight contraction (flicker/trace movement)
2- Active ROM with gravity eliminated
3- Active ROM against gravity
4- Active ROM against gravity and some resistance
5- Active ROM against gravity and full resistance (normal)
How many stacked bones are in your spine?
33 stacked bones
Cervical vertebrae
7 bones at the top of the spine
Thoracic vertebrae
12 bones (below cervical)
Lumbar vertebrae
5 bones (below thoracic)
Sacral
5 bones (below lumbar)
Coccyx or coccygeal
4 bones ( below sacrum or sacral)
Where is the spinous processes felt?
felt in a furrow down the midline of the back
Cervical and lumbar curves
concave (inward or anterior)
