|
|
|
What is osteoporosis? |
A bone condition characterized by low bone density and porous bones. |
|
|
|
What is Sarcopenia? |
A decline in walking speed or grip strength associated with an age related disease in muscle mass and/or function. |
|
|
|
What is Tinea pedis? |
Athletes foot; fungal infection of the foot. |
|
|
|
What things can cause Sarcopenia? |
Disease, and mobility, decreased caloric intake, poor blood flow to the muscles, mitochondrial dysfunction, a decline an anabolic hormones, and an increase in pro inflammatory cytokines. |
A decline in walking speed or grip strength. |
|
|
What is cardiovascular endurance? |
The ability of the heart lungs and blood vessels to deliver oxygen to all body cells is enhanced by aerobic training |
|
|
|
What can an older adult do if they are unable to participate in aggressive exercise programs? |
They can stretch and exaggerate movements during routine activities to promote joint mobility and circulation. |
|
|
|
True or false? Inactivity can result in deconditioning, which compounds the effects of Sarcopenia? |
TRUE |
|
|
|
What is the leading cause of physical disability and older people? |
Osteoarthritis |
|
|
|
What is osteoclastic activity? |
The action of the cells that continuously reabsorb bone. |
|
|
|
What is gout? |
Gout is a metabolic disorder in which excess uric acid accumulates in the blood. As a result uric acid crystals are deposited in and around the joints causing severe pain and tenderness of the joint and warmth redness and swelling of the surrounding tissue. Attacks can last from weeks to months. |
|
|
|
What can one do to alleviate gout pain? |
Reduce sodium urate through a low purine diet avoiding bacon turkey veal liver kidney brains anchovies sardines herring smelt mackerel salmon and legumes. Avoid alcohol! Colchicine or phenoylbutazone can be used to manage acute attacks management could also include allopurinol, probenecid, or indomethacin. Thiazide diuretics should be avoided since they raise the uric acid level in the blood. Vitamin E and folic acid maybe useful dietary supplements and herbs such as the yucca and devils claw reduce the symptoms. Of course a good fluid intake will prevent the formation of renal stones. |

A corn is a cone shape layer of stick dry skin formed over a bony prominence. |
|
|
|
What is a bunion? |
A bunion or bursa is a bony prominence over the first metatarsal head. |
|
|
|
What is a hammer toe? |
Hammer toe is a hyper extension at the metatarsal phalangeal joint with flexion and often corn formation at the proximal interphalangeus joint. |
|
|
|
What is plantar fasciitis? |
A common cause of heel pain often mistaken for a spur. A stick ligamentous band in the bottom of the foot that runs from the ball of the foot to the heel where it is attached. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of this band at its heel attachment. |
