Title: Musculoskeletal System


1
Musculoskeletal System
2
The Musculoskeletal System
  • What are the functions of
  • Bones (206) structure protection act as
    levers produce blood cells store calcium
  • Muscles (650) allow for movement and position
    produce heat
  • Joints point of articulation of two bones
    provide ROM
  • Tendons connect muscle to bone
  • Ligament connects bone to bone
  • Cartilage supports and shapes acts as a shock
    absorber
  • Bursae sacs filled with synovial fluid cushion
    and reduce friction between joints

3
Common Disorders
  • Osteoarthritis
  • AKA-Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD)
  • Noninflammatory, localized, progressive disorder
    involving deterioration of articular cartilage
    and subchondral bone and formation of new bone
    (osteophytes) at joint surface
  • S/S Asymmetrical joint involvement, stiffness,
    swelling, bony protuberances, pain with motion
    and decreased ROM

4
Common Disorders
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Chronic, systemic inflammatory disease of joints
    surrounding connective tissue.
  • Inflammation of synovial membrane leads to
    thickening then fibrosis, which decreases ROM,
    and finally bony ankylosis
  • S/S Symmetric joint involvement, heat, redness,
    swelling, painful motion, fatigue, weakness,
    anorexia, weight loss, low grade fever,
    lymphadenopathy

5
Common Disorders
  • Osteoporosis-
  • Decrease in skeletal bone mass when rate of bone
    resorption is greater than bone formation.
  • Increased risk for stress fractures
  • Wrist, hips, vertebrae most common
  • Loss of height frequently first clinical sign of
    osteoporosis
  • Height loss occurs in trunk as result of
    vertebral fracture and collapse

6
Health History
  • Pain
  • Onset
  • Location
  • Duration
  • Character
  • Aggravating Alleviating factors/Associated
    factors
  • Radiation
  • Treatments tried
  • RICE

7
Health History
  • Current Health Information
  • Activities of daily living (personal care,
    household tasks, shopping, etc.)
  • Current/Previous employment
  • Exercise
  • Nutrition
  • Tobacco/Alcohol use
  • Medications

8
Health History
  • Past Medical History
  • Previous accidents/injuries to bones, nerves,
    soft tissue
  • Previous orthopedic surgery
  • Congenital deformities
  • Chronic illnesses (i.e. rheumatoid/osteoarthritis
    arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer, neurological
    problems)
  • Family History
  • Congenital deformities, chronic illness

9
Inspection
  • Gait
  • Stance
  • Initial contact (heel strike), loading response,
    midstance, terminal stance (toe off), preswing
  • Swing
  • Initial swing, midswing, terminal swing

10

  • Guarded vs. relaxed
  • Speed
  • Smoothness
  • Fatigue
  • Normal variance
  • Genu varum (bowleg)
  • Genu valgum (knock-knee)

11
Inspection
  • Posture
  • Erect, slumped, guarded
  • Kyphosis (hump back)
  • Lordosis (sway back)
  • Scoliosis (crooked back)
  • Posture erect with normal spinal curvature

12
Inspection
  • Symmetry
  • Size/Length (shortened limb, amputation)
  • Contour (deformity, muscle tone)
  • Contractures, dislocations, subluxation)
  • Color (erythema, ecchymosis, cyanotic, other
    discoloration)
  • Edema
  • Masses
  • Joints and muscles symmetric no swelling,
    masses, deformity.

13
Palpation
  • Bones, joints, and muscles for tenderness
  • Muscle tone
  • Temperature
  • Edema
  • Crepitus
  • Masses
  • Capillary Refill pulses
  • Sensation (If acute injury want to chart CMS
    intact)
  • No tenderness to palpation of joints no heat,
    swelling, or masses

14
Range of Motion
  • ROM
  • Flexion-decreases angle between bones of joint
  • Extension- increases angle between bones of joint
  • Abduction- mvmt of limb away from midline
  • Adduction- mvmt of limb towards midline
  • Rotation- mvmt of bone around long axis
  • Circumduction- mvmt in circle

Goniometer
15
Range of Motion
  • Lateral Flexion- decreasing angle of joints
    laterally.
  • Dorsiflexion (foot towards shin)/Plantar flexion
    (foot towards floor)
  • Inversion (sole medial)/Eversion (sole lateral)
  • Supination (palm up)/Pronation (Palm down)
  • Protraction (nonangular mvmt anterior)/Retraction
    (nonangular mvmt posterior)
  • Elevation (lifting superiorly)/Depression (moving
    inferiorly)
  • Opposition- thumb touches other finger

16
Range of Motion
  • Active vs. Passive ROM
  • Active Patient moves joints through ROM
  • Passive You move relaxed joints through ROM
  • Excess fluid, loose bodies, contractures/stiffness
    , laxity, crepitus, pain.
  • Full ROM movement smooth without crepitance or
    tenderness

17
Strength
  • Test strength by resisting ROM
  • Grip strength (upper body)

  • Grading
  • 5- Full ROM against gravity, full resistance
  • 4- Full ROM against gravity, some resistance
  • 3- Full ROM with gravity
  • 2- Full ROM with gravity eliminated (passive)
  • 1- Slight contraction
  • 0- No contraction
  • Muscle strength 5/5

Spine
  • Straight Leg Raise
  • For low back pain that radiates to the leg, check
    straight leg raise on each side.
  • Raise the leg until pain occurs, record the
    degree of elevation, the quality and distribution
    of the pain, and the effects of dorsiflexion.
  • Sharp pain radiating down the leg when leg raised
    30-60 degrees is suggestive of nerve root
    compression, typically due to a herniated lumbar
    disc.
  • Crossed leg raise is very diagnostic
  • for disk injury
  • Positive when radiation of pain
  • in leg that is not raised

51

  • Risk Factors
  • Recent history of falls 5
  • Confusion/disorientation 4
  • Depression 2
  • Altered elimination 1
  • Dizziness/vertigo 1

53
Modified Hendrich Fall Risk Assessment
  • Get Up and Go Test Rising from Chair
  • Able to rise in single movement 0
  • Pushes up successfully one attempt 1
  • Multiple attempts but successful 2
  • Unable to rise without assistance 3
  • Add points from risk factors and rising from
    chair.
  • 0-3 points low risk, use basic safety
    surveillance
  • gt3 high risk, use fall prevention interventions
