Musculoskeletal SystemNormal structure– Tissues
• Cartilage• Ligaments/tendons• Fascia A flat band of tissue below the
skin that covers the underlying tissuesand separates different layers oftissue. Fascia encloses muscles
• Bursa A closed fluid-filled sac thatfunctions to provide a gliding surfaceto reduce friction between tissues ofthe body
– Bones– Muscles– Joints
Function– Support– Protection– Movement– Mineral storage– Hematopoiesis
The production ofall types of bloodcells
3
Bone Structure& Development
Growth zone for longitudinal growth in children-Epiphyseal plate
Disruption plate can result in threat to growth
Longitudinal growth continues to approx age 20
Continuous process of bone remodeling
Osteoblasts = builders = deposition of newbone
Osteoclasts = removal of old bone =resorption
4
JointsDIARTHROTIC
5
Ligaments attach bone to bone– joint stability
Tendons attach muscle tobone – joint movement
Fibrous tissue – low bloodsupply
Cartilage - avascular
Normal Diarthrodial Joint (Freely movable)
6
Factors Influencing MS Health
Age– High growth rate Infant– Toddler – lordosis up to age 5-6 high
risk for injury due to falls, MVA – Infant& child car seats
– Infant and children’s bones are porousand less dense than adult’s. Untilpuberty bones are soft and more easilybent and fractured.
School age – 10-13 – growth spurtSeniors – decreased activityEnvironment– Job– Sun exposure– Activity
7
Risk Factors for Alterations inMusculoskeletal Health
History
– Injuries
– Family history
– Medical conditions
• Metabolic alterations
• Gastrectomy
• Renal tubular necrosis conditioninvolving the death of tubularcells that form the tubule thattransports urine to the ureters
• Hypoparathyroidism
– Surgery
Gender: postmenopausal female –osteoporosis. men - gout
AgeMedications
– Musculoskeletal drugs - relaxants,NSAIDS, narcotics
– Antiseizure meds - osteomalacia– Phenothiazines - gait disturbances– Corticosteroids - abnormal fat
distribution, avascular necrosis,decreased bone and muscle mass
– K-depleting diuretics- muscleweakness
DietObesityPosture
8
Assessment
History & interview– Chief complaint
– Movement behaviors
– Functional assessment
– Self-care behaviors
– Questions
9
AssessmentGeneral– Posture– Gait steady? Unsteady? – disturbed?– Muscle strength –Movement against
gravity? Resistance– Assistive devices
Vital signsInspection & palpation provides data regardingsymmetry and configuration of muscles,atrophy?Neurovascular assessment - CSM- circulation,sensation and movement. 5P’s -paralysis, paresthesia, pain, pulselessness,pallor
10
Diagnostic Tests
Blood chemistry
– Calcium - decreased in hypoparathyroidism, osteomalacia, renal disease,increased in hyperparathyroidism, immobility, osteoporosis (release ofcalcium into blood stream – increase in resorption)
– Alkaline phosphatase: enzyme produced by osteoblasts for mineralizationof bone – elevated with healing fractures, osteoporosis, osteomalacia
– Creatine kinase (CK): muscle enzyme – increased in muscular dystrophy,muscle injuries
– ESR: elevated with inflammation as well as C-reative protein
– RF: non-specific found in connective tissue disease
– ANA: Anti-nuclear antibodies. Positive in 95% of patients withrheumatoid arthritis
11
Diagnostics - Visualizations
12
Diagnostics - Visualizations
X-rayCT: soft tissue & bonyabnormalities
MRI: helpful in identifyingabnormalities of cartilage andsoft tissue surrounding joints
Bone scan: injection ofradioisotope taken up bybones – degree of uptakerelated to blood flow.
Biopsy
Arthrogram: injection of contrastmedium in to joint cavityArthroscopy direct visualizationArthrocentesis: like arthrogram– synovial fluidElectromyogram (EMG):primary muscle diseaseBone Mass Measurements -Dual-energy x-rayabsorptiometry (DEXA) – fast,precise, low-dose of radiationmeasures bone density forosteoporosis
13
Etiology of Injuries
Be alert and be aware of theenvironment.
The causes of musculoskeletal injuriesare variable.
14
Health Alterations –SoftTissue Injuries
Strains/sprains– Sprain – ligament injury due to
wrenching or twisting movement– Strain – stretching of muscle/fascia –
acute may involve partial or completerupture of muscle
– Causes– Healing time – 3-6 weeks esp sprains
– decreased blood supply.– RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression,
Elevation) plus NSAIDs (nonsteroidalanti-inflammatory drugs) program, whichmay include a knee brace forcompression and added stability, or aphysical therapy regimen
15
Health Alterations –Soft TissueInjuries
Dislocation/subluxation-partial dislocation
First Assess - inspectiondue to ligament injury – displacement ofarticular surface of jointsmay be congenital – check infant forsymmetrical gluteal foldsInspection – asymmetry of musculoskeletalcontour, local pain, tenderness, loss offunction, shortening of affected extremityDevelopmental dysplasia of hip disloc orsublux 1-2/1000 births girls> boys. Asymmetryof gluteal foldsCultural – > incidence with use of cradleboards or traditional swaddled – Native American
Carrying infants on hip or back withlegs abducted - Korean, Chinese,and some African groups - seldomaffected
Infants to 3 months- Pavlik harnessworn for hip reduction
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysisduring adolescent growth spurt.Limp, pain, loss of joint motiontraction or surgery most follow-upuntil epiphyseal plates closed
16
Soft TissueInjuries
Rotator cuff tears -muscles and tendons inshoulderLigament injuriesMeniscus injuries -Injuries to the crescent-shaped cartilage padsbetween the two jointsformed by the femur (thethigh bone) and the tibia(the shin bone). 2menisci are easilyinjured by the force ofrotating the knee whilebearing weightRepetitive motioninjuries
17
Herniated Nucleus pulposusCommon cause of acute &chronic low back pain.
Degenerative disk diseaseleads to intervetebralnarrowing & decreasedefficiency of the “shockabsorbing” affects of the disks
Risk factors for low back pain– undue strain, osteoarthritis,obesity, smoking, stress,prolonged periods of sitting
18
Osteomyelitis•Direct or indirect invasion ofmicroorganisms (Staph A)
•Bacteria lodge & grow – increasepressure – ischemia and vascularcompromise – sequestration = infectedisland of bone.
•Chronic if persists for more than 4 weeks
•Vigorous I.V. antibiotic treatment –surgical debridement – immobilization –prone to pathologic fractures – handlewith care
•Discharge teaching - Extremelyimportant complete course of antibiotics
19
Osteoporosis
“Silent disease”Resorption > deposition (formation)– Porous & brittle bones
Risk factors– Postmenopausal women– Thin, small frame– Family history– Long-term steroid use– Inactivity– Caucasian/ Asian-American
20
Osteoporosis
Signs & symptoms– Bone mineral
density (BMD)decreased –DEXA study
– Pathologicalfractures–spontaneous orfracture fromminimaltrauma, esphip, wrists,vertebrae
– Loss of height– Kyphosis
Management goal – prevent or stop process– Adequate calcium intake & Vitamin D 1000mg/day –
premenopausal and postmenop takingestrogen,1500mg/day – postmenop not taking estrogen
– Exercise program– Medications
• HRT hormone replacement therapy = Estrogen –inhibits osteoclast activity
• SERM - selective estrogen receptor modulators –mimics effect of estrogen
• Biphosphonates inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption,increases bone density – must be taken before meals
• Calcitonin secreted by thyroid gland – effect same asestrogen I.M or inhalant must be taken with calciumsupplement to prevent hyperparathyroidisn
21
GoutMetabolic disorder
– Genetic/familialtendency
– 90% middle-agedmen
Risk factors– Diabetes
– Obesity
– HTN
Hyperuricemia– purine synthesis
and/or
– renal excretion
Signs & symptoms– Swollen, tender, painful joints, “great toe” – reddened to
dusky– Deposit of Na urate crystals in joint fluid = tophi
Treatment– Fluids & low-purine diet (organ meats, venison, anchovies,
wine/beer), fluids prevent precipitation of uric acid in the renaltubules
– Colchicine - specific analgesic for gouty arthritis – expect painrelief
– Probenecid (Benemid) – increases urinary uric acid excretion– inhibits renal reabsorption of urates
– Allopurinal (Zyloprim)– slows body rate of uric acid production– Acetominophen – antiinflammatory & pain control– No Aspirin – inactivates effects of uricosurics – results in
urate retention
