What type of symptom is normally present with musculoskeletal problems
|
Pain
|
|
Six areas of physical assessment for musculoskeletal assessment include what
|
Posture, gait, inspection and palpation of joints, ROM, muscle strength, and ability to do ADLs
|
|
On inspection of joints, what should you look for
|
Deformity, edema, redness, swan neck, and ulnar drift
|
|
During palpation of joints what should you look for
|
Temp, fluid, nodules, bony enlargements, bursal swelling, synovial cysts, tohpi deposits, Heberden and Bouchard nodes
|
|
Abnormal anterior, concavity of the lumbar part of the back
|
Lordosis
|
|
Abnormal condition of the vertbral column, characterized by increased convexity in the curvature of the thoracic spine as viewed from the side: humpback
|
Kyphosis
|
|
Lateral curvature of the spine
|
Scoliosis
|
|
Abnormal finger condition: flexion of the distal interphalangeal joint and hyperextension of the proximal interphalangeal joint
|
Swan neck
|
|
Ulnar drift
|
Long axis of the fingers makes an angle with the long axis of the wrist so that the fingers are deviated to the ulnar side of the hand
|
|
An abnormal cartilaginous or bony enlargement of a distal interphalangeal joint of a finger, usually ocurring in a degenerative disease of the joints.
|
Heberden's node
|
|
An abnormal cartilaginous or bony enlargement of a proximal interphalangeal joint of a finger, usually occurring with degenerative diseases of joints.
|
Bouchard nodes
|
|
How and what do you assess during a neurocirculatory assessment
|
Compare affected limb with unaffected limb: color, temperature, capillary refill, pulse, sensation, movement
|
|
The 5 P's of a nerocirculatory assessment
|
Pain, pallor, pulselessness, parethesia, paralysis
|
|
Age related muscle changes
|
Decrease in muscle strength, mass, and ROM
|
|
Age related changes of bones
|
Bone density decreases, overgrowth (bony spurs), narrowing of joint spaces (particularly weight bearing joints or joints with sustained trauma)
|
|
Spinal changes of the older adult
|
Kyphosis (humpback)
|
|
Increased bone prominence
|
An age related change with the musculoskeletal system
|
|
Loss of bone density, leaving the bone porous and easily fractured
|
Osteoporosis
|
|
3 bones most likely involve with fractures relating to osteoporosis
|
Wrist, hip, vertebrae
|
