Q

Main processes of musculoskeletal

A
  1. Contraction

Muscle tissue
Work getting shorter
Pulling on bones

Eg flex muscle - contract biceps and triceps relaxes

Extend arm - triceps contract and biceps relax

  1. Relaxation

Return to former state
Makes muscle longer
No longer pulls on bones

  1. Movement and locomotion

Muscles arranged in a way
One contracts
Partner relaxes
Therefore Muscles are ANTAGONISTIC (one muscle contracts, and its partner relaxes)

Causes Two bones move at joint when one is pulled

Q

What is Posture

A

Way which we hold up our bodies in the things we do:

Sit, stand, rest or move about

The way way we carry ourselves is determined how aligned our bodies are
and which muscles are involved

The better your posture, the better body is aligned

Q

Explain the roles in movement played by all the muscles in the body (name the muscle and then describe the role (a to n) of diagram

A

Deltoids- play a role in shoulder movement back and forth 360 movement

Pectoralis - adduction (moving of arm to mid-line of body) and forward movement of arm, rotation of arm forward across the body

Biceps the main functions are flexion a supination (outward rotation) of forearm

Obliques - external obliques on either side help rotate trunk. Internal flex towards pelvis (crunches)

Abdominals - supports trunk and holds organs. Allows movement around the trunk area

Quadriceps - used for kicking running jumping walking

Trapezius - to stabilise and move the scalpula

Triceps - holds head of humerus, adduction forward extension of arm adduction

Rhomboid - retract, elevate and rotate the scapula

Latissimus Dorsi - performs actions of upper extrememity

Hamstrings - flexes knee extends thigh at hip rotates your lower leg from side too side when knee bent

Gastrocnemius & Soleus - The main plantar flexion of the ankle joint and foot movement

- A deformity that affects the BIG TOE - can be extremely painful (get shooting pain) - Prevention - not wearing tight shoes/too small BIG TOE RUBS AGAINST SHOE - or high heals (Victoria Beckham) SYMTOMS - Shooting pain - Deformed big toe Treatment - Surgery - BUNIONECTOMY - Not wearing tight shoes/too small or high heels - CORRECTIVE INSOLES (put inside shoes) ORTHOTICS - EXCERCISES
30
What is the surgery for bunions
Bunionectomy
31
What is Hammer Toes
1. Caused by - Tight shoes that - Squeeze toes - cause abnormal balance of muscles in toe 2. Symptoms - pain at top of toe (from pressure of shoe - formation of CORNS (calcification) at top of joins - redness and swelling at joint where bends - restricted motion of toes - pain in BALL of foot at the base of toe 3. Prevention - wear properly fitted shoes (not too small/narrow) - Custom ORTHOTICS made by PODIATRIST
32
Name 3 ways in which bodies are affected by high heels

35
How do prevent bad posture
1. Maintain a good balances posture 2. Don’t carry a school bag too heavy 3. Don’t carry a bag/weight only on one shoulder (Mass of school bag and the way you carry it will affect posture) 4. This will prevent bad injuries, aches and pains
36
School bags and posture
1. Mass and the way carry bag will affect posture If carry a very heavy school bag or only on one shoulder, it will affect posture It can cause 1. Chronic back pain 2. Muscle strains 3. Distortion of natural S-curve of spine 4. Rounding of shoulders School bags should: 1. Not weigh more than 10% of child’s weight 2. Not hold bag in your hands by straps 3. Do not carry bag over one shoulder 4. Bag should be packed correctly 5. Bag should be corrected fitted so that straps are evenly distributed on both shoulders 6. Pack heaviest items against your back 7. Adjust the shoulder straps so that bottom of the backpack is above your waist 8. When fitted correctly, the backpack should contour snugly into your back Other suggestions 1. Store books in your school locker 2. Only take books to school that you need for class that day 3. Regularly clean out your school bag
37
What is ankle sprains

45
What is the inflammation of the bone cartilage or tendon at top of shin bone connecting to the knee cap
Osgood-Schlatter’s disease
46
What is Osgood-Schlatter’s disease
Is an inflammation: - of bone cartilage or; and - tendon At top of shin bone/tibia Where the tendon from kneecap (patella) attaches Most often only one knee is affected
47
Who does OSD strike most
Active adolescents At beginning of their growth spurts During approx 2 year period grow rapidly Growth spurts - boys 10 to 15 years - girls 8 to 13 years
48
Sports common to OSD in teens
1. Sport involving running/twisting and jumping (eg netball, basketball, tennis, soccer)
49
Why is OSD more prone to teenagers
Growth spurts make kids vulnerable Because - bones - muscles - tendons Growing quickly Not always at the same time With exercise difference in - size - strength Muscle groups place unusual stress on growth plate At top of shinbone
50
What is a growth plate
A layer of cartilage near the end of the bone Where most bone’s growth occurs It weaker and more vulnerable to rest of bone
51
What are stress fractures
1. Tiny cracks in a bone 2. Caused by repetitive force 3. Often from overuse 4. Such as - jumping up and down - running long distances 5. Also develop from normal use of bone - weakened by a condition such as osteoporosis
52
Where stress fractures most common
1. Weight bearing bones (eg lower legs and feet) 2. Track field athletes 3. Military recruites 4. Both 2 and 3 carry heavy packs (their bodies) over long distances 5. Anyone can sustain a stress-fracture if you - start new exercise program (eg if do too much too soon)
53
How long does it take to notice stress fracture
At first, may barely notice pain associated with stress fracture Tends to worsen with time The tenderness starts specific spot Decreases in rest May have swelling around painful area
54
What makes you more susceptible to stress fractures
Bones subjected to unaccustomed force without enough time for recovery Reabsorb cells faster than your body can replace them Makes more susceptible to stress fractures
55
What are the factors that increase your risk of stress fractures
1. Certain sports - high-impact sports (eg basketball, tennis, track & field and dance) 2. Increased activity 3. Sex (especially women who have abnormal/absent menstrual period) 4. Foot problems (flat feet or high arches). Worn footwear contributes to stress fractures 5. Weakened bones eg osteoporosis make it easier for stress fractures 6. Previous stress fractures 7. Lack of nutrients (eating disorders, lack of vitamin D and calcium can make bones more susceptible to stres fractures)
56
How to prevent stress fractures
1. Make changes slowly (start new exercise programmes slowly) 2. Use proper footwear 3. Cross train (with low impact activities) 4. Proper nutrition (vitamin D and calcium to make bones strong)
57
What are bone fractures
1. Broken bones 2. Typically caused by - sports injuries - accidents/falls 3. Painful injuries take time to heal 4. Need medical intervention/treatment
58
What are the 5 categories of bone fractures
1. Closed or open fractures 2. Complete fractures 3. Displaced fractures 4. Partial fractures 5. Stress fractures
59
What is a closed or open fracture
1. It doesn’t break open the skin = closed 2. If breaks open skin = open/compound
60
What’s another name for open fracture
Compound fracture
61
What is a complete fracture
The break goes completely through the bone Separating it in two
62
What is a displaced fracture
A gap forms where the bone breaks This often requires surgery to fix
63
What is a partial fracture
Break doesn’t go all the way through the bone
64
What is a stress fracture
The bone gets a crack in it (which is sometimes difficult to find with imaging or xrays
65
What are the terms used by doctors to describe partial, complete, open and closed fractures
1. Avulsion - tendon/ligament pulls part of bone off 2. Comminuted - bone shatters into several different pieces 3. Compression - bone gets crushed or flattened 4. Impacted - bones get driven together 5. Oblique - break goes diagonally across 6. Spiral - fracture spirals around the bone 7. Transverse - break goes in a straight line across the bone
66
What are the causes of bone fractures
1. Bone runs into a stronger force (eg thrown forward in car crash) 2. Repetitive forces (eg running) 3. Osteoporosis (weakens bones as you age)
67
What are dislocations
When the bones of a joint are knocked out of place Can be partially or fully dislocated
68
What is the partial dislocation of a joint called
Subluxation
69
What are causes of dislocations
1. Trauma (car accident or fall) 2. Weakening of muscles or tendons 3. Contact sports eg football
70
What are the treatment of disclocations
1. Medication 2 Manipulation 3. Rest 4. Surgery
71
Dislocation symptoms
1. Very painful 2. Can cause affected area to be unsteady or immobile 3. Can strain or tear the surrounding muscles, nerves or tendons Seek medical treatment
72
Where are dislocations very common
Most often Affects these joints 1. Finger 2. Shoulder 3. Knee 4. Elbow 5. Hip 6, Jaw
73
What is treatment for dislocations
1. Apply ice and keep joint elevated while wait for doctor 2. Medication (to reduce pain) 3. Manipulation (doctor returns bone to its proper place) 4. Rest (after bone put back in place) 5. Rehabilitation (physical therapy exercises to strengthen muscles and ligaments around joint) 6 Surgery if - manipulation doesn’t work - dislocation damaged: A) blood vessels or nerves B) bones, tore muscles or ligaments that need repair
74
What is a common sporting injury that affect the knee joint
Chondromalacia patellae Affects the muscles that help to hold the kneecap in proper position when leg is straightened Injury causes - a loss of strength in muscle contraction or - loss in the bulk of the muscle Person feels pain: - after or during exercise - sitting for long period of time with knee bent - going up or down stairs
75
Bones description
They hard and stiff Joints at the end of bones help them move (tendons/ligaments pull on the bones and they move)
76
What are ligaments
Joins a bone to bone Very elastic so when bones move, the ligaments can stretch without tearing
77
Name a to g of diagram
A - muscle B - bursa C - tendon D - cartilage E- Synovium F - Ligament G- bone
78
Name the bones A to V
A - cranium B - mandible C - scapula D - Sternum E - ribs F - pelvis G - carpals H - phalanges I - patella J - tarsals K - phalanges L - maxilla M - clavicle N - humerus O - vertebral column P - radius Q - ulna R- metacarpals S - femur T - tibia U - Fibula V - metatarsals
