Synovial joint

Rheumatoid arthritis is an unwelcoming disease where millions of people are diagnosed with it per year and is a painful process if you have a severe case of it. Symptoms vary for every individual's body joint, but the cause of it still remains unknown although research within a few years we will be able to pinpoint the cause, but for now we will rely on the information presented to us. There are a couple of therapies used to cope with Rheumatoid arthritis and seem to be beneficial to reduce pain…

life, without pain in her shoulder. In 2005, Elizabeth was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints in the body.

connective tissue called collagen in the skin, joints, brain, and heart, causing inflammation. The inflammation can occur in the large joint, skin, wrist, elbows, knees, and ankles. Rheumatoid arthritis is an abnormal immune response, causing inflammation of the synovial membrane with vasodilation, increased permeability, and formation of exudate, causing the typical red, swollen, and painful joint. Remissions and exacerbations lead to progressive damage to the joints. The inflammation commences…

I Anatomy of the shoulder The shoulder joint, as it is commonly called, is not a single joint but a complex arrangement of bones, ligaments and musculotendinous units that called the shoulder girdle. The primary role of the shoulder girdle is to provide a tremendous range of motion for positioning the upper extremity in space. The shoulder girdle also provides power and support for the upper extremity throughout and at the extremes of the range of motion. (19) The…

ligaments that make up the synovial hinge joint, commonly known as the knee. The four bones that make up the knee joint are the femur (thigh bone), the tibia (shin bone), the fibula (lateral shin bone), and the patella (knee cap). Connective tissue known as articulating cartilage lines the ends of the tibia and femur, and the anterior of the patella, reducing friction and providing a surface for smooth contact during flexion, extension or rotation. The knee joint also contains the medial…

INTRODUCTION Arthroscopic surgery is considered as one of the most minimally invasive surgical procedure. It is regarded as one of the major breakthrough in the management of patients with conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. Hip arthroscopic surgery was introduced for the first time by Burman in 1931. 1 However, indications and procedure for arthroscopic surgeries remained very few for many decades because of lack of expertise and instrumentation. Since the early 1990s, the number…

the distal radiolunar joint which is often difficult to recognize. When there is presentation of a radial only fracture the radioulnar joint should be examined carefully on the x-ray (Gaillard, F., radiopaedia.org). According to Putigna & Ursone (emedicine.com) a relatively uncommon injury accounting for fewer than 5% of all forearm fractures is the Monteggia fracture. This fracture refers to the fracture of the proximal ulna with a dislocation of the proximal radioulnar joint. Since isolated…

Degenerative joint disease (Osteoarthritis) is a breakdown of cartilage inside a joint. Common symptoms of Osteoarthritis are stiffness, pain and joint dysfunction (Better Health Channel, 2016, para. 5). Glucosamine is an effective treatment for Osteoarthritis (Arthritis Research, 2005, para. 3). The double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) conducted by Hamid Reza Arti and Mohammad Ebrahim Azemi in 2012 drew attention to Alendronate. Alendronate is known to have healing properties and…

program focuses on appropriate warming-up and cooling down before and after workouts. In nearly all training programs, a 10-minute dynamic warm-up is prescribed that focuses on prepping the joints and muscles that will be most used during the workout. This focus increases the flow of synovial fluid to the joints and tendons, significantly decreasing the chance of injury (Effect of Warming Up on Knee Proprioception Before Sporting Activity). One of the largest deficiencies in past physical…
