A

oddly shaped with various bony projections that interact with other bones, provide sites for muscle attachment (spinal vertebrae)

Q

features of joints

A

where two or more bones meet
cartilage cushions the joint
synovial membrane secrets fluid to lubricate the joint
ligaments hold together joint

16
Q

cartilage definition

A

connective tissue that cushions joints

17
Q

synovial membrane definition

A

lines freely moveable joints, secret fluid that lubricates

18
Q

normal findings of the musculoskeletal system

A

muscle strength
ROM
fine movements
maintain posture
maintain balance
flexibility

19
Q

factors influencing mobility

A

illness
pain
motivation
education
environment
culture
lifestyle
injury

20
Q

effects of immobility

A

deconditioning
contractures
muscle atrophy
orthostatic hypotension

21
Q

foot drop definition

A

permanent dorsiflexion, the foot is stuck extended down

22
Q

age-related changes in the musculoskeletal system

A

strength decreases
bones become brittle, break easily
joints stiffen and become painful
height gradually decreases
mobility therefore decreases

23
Q

factors of falls

A

mechanical/environmental:
improper use of equipment, poorly fitting shoes, cluttered room, spills
client:
decreased senses, conditioned, cognitive impairment
caregiver:
not giving call bells, missing safety checks, body mechanics, trying to save resident, missing walking aids

24
Q

what to do when client falls

A

help lower to ground is possible
dont catch them
stay with them
call for help

25
Q

features of fractures

A

bone is broken and surrounding tissues are also damaged
open and closed (bone poking out or not)
look for bent/out of position, pain, swelling, loss of function, protruding bone, bruising

26
Q

features of hip fractures

A

common in older adults mostly women
shortening of limb or out of position
lead to post-operative complications (catching illness, pressure ulcers)
mortality is at risk from these

27
Q

amputation definition

A

traumatic (accidental) or surgical
phantom pain is common
may have prosthesis
assess skin for friction, pressure, moisture

28
Q

osteoporosis definition

A

bones become more porous/hollow, brittle, and fracture easily
common in spine, hips, wrists
caused by lack of estrogen (women), calcium, vitamin d, exercise, and smoking
can prescribe estrogen, get braces, strength training exercises, walking aids

29
Q

arthritis definition

A

loss of joint function or inflammation
100+ different types
some affect connective tissue, can have systematic affects
cause is unknown

30
Q

osteoarthritis definition

A

cartilage wears away, decreased cushioning meaning bones rub together
may see bone spurs, thickening grown on bone
affects weight-bearing joints
no cure, most common type, common in overweight people

31
Q

rheumatoid arthritis definition

A

autoimmune disease
normal tissue is replaced with scar tissue leading to deformities
onset and progressive
severe inflammation

32
Q

caring activities for arthritis

A

positioning
ice/heat
medications
weight loss
aids
comfort
safety

33
Q

Contractures

A

Lack of joint mobility from abnormal shortening of muscle

34
Q

Deconditioning

A

Loss of muscle size, strength, and function (or muscle atrophy) from inactivity

35
Q

Muscle atrophy

A

Decrease in size or wasting away of muscle
