|
state the difference between valgus and varus deformities
|
Varus=bowed legs
Valgum=knock knees |
|
|
Bursitis
|
inflammation or irritation of bursa
|
|
|
Tendonitis
|
inflammation of a tendon
|
|
|
tenosynovitis
|
inflammation of a tendon
|
|
|
strain
|
inury to a muscle
|
|
|
Sprain
|
injury to a ligament
|
|
|
Athralgia
|
joint pain
|
|
|
Joint effusion
|
-increased fluid in joint space
-Ballotement test tests for fluid accumulation in or around the knee joint. Preformed by pressing fluid out of the suprapatellar pouch down behind the patella |
|
|
Hemiarthosis
|
swelling of the knee indicates a synovial effusion or bleeding into a joint. Knee trauma may result in hemarthrosis and limitation of joint motion
|
|
|
Tophus
|
Deposits of uric acid crystals. Specific but nonsensitive sign of gout. Usually develops over the distal interphalangeal joint of the fingers, in the olecranon and prepatellar bursae as well.
|
|
|
What is common in osteoarthritis?
|
Heberden's nodes
Bouchard's nodes Distal Joints more common |
|
|
What is common in Rheumatoid Arthritis?
|
Swan neck deformities
Boutonniere deformities Ulnar deviation of fingers Subcutaneous nodules Proximal joints more common |
|
|
explain the diagnostic significance of proximal versus distal muscle weakness
|
*Proximal=myopathy, Can you lift objects? can you brush your hair?
*Distal=neuropathy,Can you turn a doorknob or key? Can you button a shirt/blouse? *Muscular weakness should always be differentiated from fatigue. Ascertain which functions the patient is unable to perform as a result of "weakness" |
|
|
state the basic components of a musculoskeletal screening exam
|
Inspect
palpate Check active and passive range of motion Check muscle strength integrated function |
|
|
crepitus
|
-crackling or popping sounds and sensations experienced under the skin and joints.
-The sound can be created when two rough surfaces in the human body come into contact - for example, in osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis when the cartilage around joints has eroded away |
|
|
List selected symptoms of a musculoskeletal problem or disease
|
Pain, Weakness, Deformity, limitation, Stiffness and joint clicking
|
|
|
Explain strength scale
|
0- absent, no contraction
1- trace, slight contraction 2-weak, movement limited by gravity 3-fair , movement against gravity 4-good, movement against gravity and some additional force 5- normal, movement against gravity and FULL resistance |
