Q

indications for measuring bone mineral density to assess for osteoporosis

A

Up to 90% of peak
bone mass is deposited by age 18 years in girls and age 20 years in
boys; thus, maximizing bone mineral density early in life reduces
effects of bone loss during aging.
After age 40, resorption occurs
more rapidly than deposition. The net effect is a loss of bone density
(osteoporosis).

Osteoporosis Canada recommends that all women and men
older than age 50 be assessed for risk factors for osteoporosis and
fracture. Bone mineral density (BMD) testing is used to diagnose
osteoporosis and predict fracture risk.
‡ BMD testing is
recommended for all women aged 65 and older and for those with
clinical risk factors for fracture such as fragility fracture after age
40, prolonged use of glucocorticoids, or parental hip fracture (see
Table 24.1, p. 645).

Q

Describe abnormal findings: measure leg length discrepancies; assess for lordosis, kyphosis, scoliosis, contractures, & atrophy,

A

lordosis- abdomen is pushed forward, spinal curvature is pushed forwards
kyphosis- slumping motion,

A

lordosis- spinal curvature
- increased joint mobility

47
Q

developmental considerations- older adults

A

osteoporosis- predom in women
decreased height( Long bones do not shorten with age; decrease
in height results from shortening of the vertebral column caused by
loss of water content and thinning of the intervertebral discs, which
occurs more in middle age.)
influence of exercise on skeletal mass

48
Q

social considerations

A

Arthritis is a leading cause of pain, disability, and health care utilization in Canada
Increased prevalence in women and with age
Higher among those with lower education and income level
Osteoarthritis risk factors
Hip fractures and falls
Injuries: sprains, strains, and fractures

49
Q

why are women more likely to get osteoporosis?

A

Although some degree of osteoporosis is nearly
universal, women are more affected than men because lack of
estrogen after menopause causes bone loss to accelerate.

50
Q

kyphosis

A
  • usually older adults
  • after 60+
    Other postural changes are
    kyphosis, a backward head tilt to compensate for the kyphosis, and a
    slight flexion of hips and knees
51
Q

health promotion- fight against osteoporosis

A

Physical exercise
increases skeletal mass, helping prevent or delay osteoporosis in
postmenopausal women and older men.

52
Q

why does osteoporosis happen?

A

bones can become “spongy,”
weak, and more likely to break with even the slightest of twists or
bumps. This condition is called osteoporosis. The bones of the
wrist, hip, and spine are most often affected.

53
Q

arthritis

A

Arthritis is one of the most prevalent chronic health conditions and
a leading cause of pain, physical disability, and health care system
use in Canada.

54
Q

lordosis

A
  • pregnant women
  • infant
    during full term pregnancy shows a protruding
    abdomen such that the spial vertebrae is curved inward.
55
Q

health promotion

A

Posture & body mechanics
Exercise
Calcium & vitamin D

Caffeine & alcohol
Smoking
Talk with health care professionals

56
Q

phalen test- hands

A

A close up view of the hands of a patient for Phalen test. The elbows
of the patient are flexed such that dorsal side of both the hands and
fingers are together with the wrists positioned at the center of the
chest.
Positive Phalen test:
numbness and
burning sensation
occurs with carpal
tunnel syndrome

57
Q

complete musculoskeletal exam

A

A complete musculo-skeletal examination, as described in
this chapter, is appropriate for patients with articular disease, a
history of musculo-skeletal symptoms, or any problems with ADL

58
Q

screening- musculoskeletal exam

A

Inspection and palpation of joints, integrated with inspection
of each body region
* Observation of ROM as patient proceeds through motions
described earlier
* Age-specific screening measures, such as the Ortolani
manoeuvre for infants or scoliosis screening for adolescents
