Back 23

a stretching or tearing of the capsule or ligament of a joint due to forced movement beyond the joints normal range

subluxation

Back 24

a partial dislocation of the bones in a joint such as the head of the radius which may occur when a child is dangled by his or her hands

Back 27

tough fibrous bands that attach muscle to bone, or muscle to muscle

Front 28

osteoporosis

Back 28

Reduction in the quantity of bone or atrophy of skeletal tissue; an age-related disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and loss of normal skeletal microarchitecture, leading to increased susceptibility to fractures.

Front 29

osteoarthritis

Back 29

Arthritis characterized by erosion of articular cartilage, either primary or secondary to trauma or other conditions, which becomes soft, frayed, and thinned with eburnation of subchondral bone and outgrowths of marginal osteophytes; pain and loss of function result; mainly affects weight-bearing joints, is more common in old people and animals.

Front 30

paresis

Back 30

Partial or incomplete paralysis.

Front 31

Rheumatoid arthritis

Back 31

a generalized disease, occurring more often in women, which primarily affects connective tissue; arthritis is the dominant clinical manifestation, involving many joints, especially those of the hands and feet, accompanied by thickening of articular soft tissue, with extension of synovial tissue over articular cartilages, which become eroded; the course is variable but often is chronic and progressive, leading to deformities and disability.

a coarse, rhythmic tremor, 3–5 Hz frequency, usually confined to hands and forearms, which appears when the limbs are relaxed and disappears with active limb movements; characteristic of Parkinson disease.

Front 34

Carpel tunnel syndrome

Back 34

the most common nerve entrapment syndrome, characterized by paresthesias, typically nocturnal, and sometimes sensory loss and wasting in the median nerve distribution in the hand; often bilateral and affects women more than men; due to chronic entrapment of the median nerve at the wrist within the carpal tunnel.

Front 35

atrophy

Back 35

A wasting of tissues, organs, or the entire body, as from death and reabsorption of cells, diminished cellular proliferation, decreased cellular volume, pressure, ischemia, malnutrition, lessened function, or hormonal changes.

Front 36

ataxia

Back 36

An inability to coordinate muscle activity during voluntary movement; most often results from disorders of the cerebellum or the posterior columns of the spinal cord; may involve the limbs, head, or trunk.
