Musculoskeletal - Bates Flashcards
Articular means…
of or relating to the joint
This structure includes the capsule, cartilage, synovium, fluid, ligaments, and the bone
Articular structure
These rope-like bundles of collagen connect bone to bone
Ligaments
These collagen fibers connect muscle to bone
Tendons
These are pouches of synovial fluid that cushion movement of structures over bone or joints
Bursae
What are the three types of joint articulation and their extent of movement?
1) synovial (freely moveable)
2) cartilaginous (slightly moveable)
3) fibrous (immovable)
What are some examples of synovial joints?
Shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee
What are some examples of cartilaginous joints?
The vertebral bodies of the spine, pubis symphysis, and the sternocostal joints
What is an example of a fibrous joint?
The sutures of the skull
What are the classes of synovial joints?
1) spheroid (ball and socket)
2) hinge
3) condylar
Synovial means?
Moveable
What are some examples of spheroidal joints?
Shoulder and hip
What are some examples of hinge joints?
Elbow, phalanges of hand and foot
What are some examples of condylar joints?
Knee, radiocarpal (wrist), metacarpophylangeal (knuckles)
What is the ROM in a spheroidal joint?
Multiaxial: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation
What is the ROM in a hinge joint?
Uniaxial: flexion and extension only
What is the ROM in a condylar joint?
Biaxial: flexion, extension, rotation
This is radicular gluteal and posterior leg pain in the S1 dermatome that increases with cough or valsalva
Sciatica
What is the general term for pain that arises from spinal nerve compression?
Radicular pain
The term for pain in one joint
Monoarticular pain
The term for pain that involves several joints
Polyarticular pain
What is the term for bones, muscles and tissues around the joint?
Extra-articular
What is the term for generalized aches and pains in muscles?
Myalgia
What is the term for joint pain?
Arthralgia
What is the term for inflammation of bursae?
Bursitis
What is the term for inflammation of tendons?
Tendonitis
What is the term for inflammation of tendon sheaths?
Tenosynovitis
What is the term for inflammation in a joint?
Arthritis
What is the term for stiffness and limited motion after inactivity?
Gelling
This involves swelling and tenderness of the entire joint and limits both active and passive ROM
Articular joint pain or articular disease
This involves tenderness outside the joint and may involve loss of active but not passive motion
Nonarticular pain or extra-articular disease
What are some systemic features of joint problems
Fever, chills, rash, anorexia, weight loss and weakness
What are the three targets for Healthy People 2020 that involve the musculoskeletal system?
1) arthritis
2) chronic back pain
3) osteoporosis
What is a key outcome predictor of low back pain?
Depression
What is the term for a systemic skeletal condition characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue?
Osteoporosis
Bone strength depends on three things, what are they?
1) bone quality
2) bone density
3) bone size
What is the optimal standard for measuring bone density?
Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan
Bone density at what location is considered the best predictor of hip fracture?
Femoral neck
Peak bone mass is reached by what age?
30
What is the most abundant mineral in the body?
Calcium
In what functions are calcium levels important?
1) Bone health
2) Muscle function
3) Nerve transmission
4) Vascular function
5) Intracellular signaling
6) Hormonal secretion
What percent of calcium if free and stored?
1% free and 99% stored
What is the normal serum calcium level?
8.5-10.3 mg/dL
What is required to absorb dietary calcium?
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a what?
Hormone
Decreased levels of free calcium stimulate the secretion of what hormone?
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Increased PTH release has what effects
1) Kidneys reabsorb calcium
2) Kidneys excrete phosphate
3) More Vit D is converted to help absorb calcium
4) Osteoclastic activity is increased (dissolve)
5) Ionized calcium is released
Which type of calcium should people with reduced levels of stomach acid take?
Calcium citrate
What are the two oral forms of calcium?
Calcium carbonate and calcium citrate

Crepitus
What is the term for bony fixation in or around a joint?
ankylosis
What are the signs of inflammation and arthritis?
1) swelling
2) warmth
3) tenderness
4) redness (least common of the 4)
What is the name of the most active joint in the body?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
TMJ is what type of joint?
A condylar synovial joint
