Week 12 - MS conditions in Children Flashcards
When does musculosckeletal system begin growth?
First trimester of pregnancy
When are all systems formed with tissue and organ differentiation complete?
8 weeks
What development is seen in first 4 weeks gestation?
Matrix skeleton laid down
What development is seen in the 4rth week?
Limb buds arise
What are the 2 genes that convey body plan, position information and limb development?
- Homeobox
2. Sonic hedgehog
When are type 1 and type 2 muscle fibres formed?
type 1 - 12 weeks
type 2 - 30 weeks
Describe important dynamic factors of bone in childhood and adolescence
- Longitudinal at growth plates
- radial by bone modelling
- Bone modelling - formation by osteoblast and reabsorption by osteoclasts increasing mass and alters shape
- bone remodelling - weight bearing or muscle pull stimulate new growth/bone strength by replacing old micro damaged bone
When is skeletal growth most rapid
first 2-3 years (1/2 adult height)
What is the normal shape of leg up to 18 months?
genu varum
What is the shape of the leg 18 months to 4 years?
straight
What shape does the leg have at 4 years old?
genu valgus
What is the normal shape of leg at adulthood (>7)
Straight
What factors form the basis for paediatric physiotherapy treatment implementation of EBP? (5)
SCORR
- Clinical observation
- Clinical reasoning
- Theoretical concepts
- Research
- Systematic review
What developmental factors should be considered in the 3rd trimester?
- Greater force on cartilaginous foetal skeleton can lead to musculoskeletal/postural deformation
What are the normal alignment of limbs at birth?
- Kyphosis from c-spine to sacrum
- hip flexion and external rotation
- Internal rotation of lower leg
- inversion of feet
