Do Now: Friday, Oct. 23

• Objective: Muscular System Diseases

• Do Now: Think of as many diseases of the muscular system that you can and write anything that you know about each.– You need at least THREE!

Shin Splints

• Description: Pain in the shin (tibia)-usually during exercise.

• Causes: Calf muscles stretched, causing shin muscles to be over-used to compensate.

Shin Splints

Shin Splints Treatment

• Anti-inflammatory, ice, reduced exercise for a few weeks (rest)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

• Description: Fatigue (> 6 mos) with headaches, sore throat, muscle/joint pain. – Sleep and rest DON’T HELP

• Causes: Unknown - genetic, stress related, an infection, or an autoimmune disorder.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrom

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Treatment

• Pacing (setting daily schedules for activities, exercise and other uses of energy)

Muscular Dystrophy

• Description: Muscles very weak, break down, replaced with fat deposits. – On-set any age, FAST or SLOW progression.

• Causes: Genetic - varies based on underlying cause.

• Atrophy means muscle lost

Muscular Dystrophy

Muscular Dystrophy

Muscular Dystrophy Treatment

• Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy to work the muscles so that they will continue to function.

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome

• Description: Repeatedly occurring numbness, tingling, burning or pain in fingers.

• Causes: Tendon/muscle inflammation puts pressure on nerves into the hand (median nerve).

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome

Carpel Tunnel Syndrom

Carpel Tunnel Syndrom

Carpel Tunnel Treatment

• Stretching, brace, surgery, anti-inflammatory

Myasthenia Gravis

• Description: Muscle fatigue that gets better with rest but worse with activity. – Eyelids, facial expressions, talking, swallowing,

limbs.

• Causes: Autoimmune disorder where body attacks muscles.

Myasthenia Gravis

Myasthenia Gravis Treatment

• Thymus gland surgery

Tendinitis

• Description: Pain, stiffness, burning around a joint. Worse with exercise & stress.

• Causes: Tendon inflamed due to stretching or fatigue.

• What do tendons connect?

Tendinitis

Tendinitis

Tendinitis

Tendinitis Treatment

• Anti-inflammatory drug, physical therapy, RICE with gradual return to exercise

• RICE means Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate

Pyomyositis

• Description: Fever, muscle pain, pus-filled abscesses in the muscles, fatigue

• Causes: Bacteria infection of the skeletal muscles (gluts, quads)

Pyomyositis

Pyomyotis

Pyomyositis

Pyomyositis Treatment

• The abscess within the muscles must be drained surgically and then treated with antibiotics.

• What other infection does this remind you of?

Fibromyalgia

• Description: Chronic, widespread fatigue; pin on touch; sleep disturbance; muscle twitching. – At least 3 mos, fail “pressure points test”

• Causes: Unknown but genetic.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia Treatment

• Exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, drugs

Do Now: Friday, Oct. 23• Objective: Patient Rounds• Do Now:1. Name one difference between fibromyalgia and

chronic fatigue disorder.2. Why do people get shin splints and what is the

treatment?

• Reminder: Quiz on Monday on Skeletal System Diseases and Treatment.– Multiple choice questions (10)– Patient Rounds (5)

Worksheet Corrections

• Diagnosis and Treatment Worksheet – Review Answers

Patient Rounds

• With a partner, fill out the chart below by first diagnosing the disease, explaining at least two reasons how you came to that conclusion (must be out of the notes), and by explaining at least two treatments that you would recommend.

Practice

• On the back of your sheet, create TWO of your own descriptions to diagnose in complete sentences.– Circle at least two key words in the description.– Diagnose the disease.– Provide the treatment.
