musculoskeletal disorders

Using your lesson notes and research you have carried out into how disorders affect the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system and the impact these conditions have on the health of the affected individual, produce a report and information leaflets/posters for the employees that includes: • An evaluation of one named musculoskeletal disorder that demonstrates how this condition affects the normal movement and functioning of the musculoskeletal system and the corrective treatments associated with it. In order to be able to do this fully, you will need to include evidence of all the following aspects of the musculoskeletal system. • A detailed, in-depth, explanation using scientific knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of affected bones, joints and 3 BTEC Assignment Brief v1.0 BTEC Internal Assessment QDAM January 2015 muscle groups. • An illustrated explanation of the structures and functions of the human musculoskeletal system to include the key features of the functions of the musculoskeletal systems including its role in: support, leverage and movement, protection of body organs, production of blood cells, storage of minerals. Use any photographs taken during teaching and learning to illustrate your leaflet/poster and report. • The use of scientific language and technical terminology to outline the normal anatomy and physiology of six major joints and fully explains the importance of their structure and role in enabling normal movement of the joints. You must include bones, muscle groups and the associated ligaments and tendons involved in bringing about normal movement. • Detailed evidence describing how normal movement (flexion/extension, adduction/abduction, internal/external, rotation, circumduction) is compromised in each of the three conditions you have researched. Include an overview of the available treatments health care professionals might utilise to alleviate the symptoms of the disorder. • A description and comparison of three disorders that affect different aspects of the musculoskeletal system. (For example; shoulder dislocation in joint hypermobility, rheumatoid arthritis and anterior cruciate ligament injury). • A description and comparison of the corrective treatments that are used for each of the three disorders you have chosen to research. In each case, you must include the scientific rationale behind choosing one treatment in preference to others. (For example, you could consider why non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) might be prescribed instead of steroid treatment; what might influence a Doctor’s choice of analgesic medications or why alternative or complementary therapy might be used in conjunction with conventional treatments). Checklist of evidence required A report which: • Fully evaluates the effectiveness, limitations, strengths and weaknesses of different forms of corrective action and alternative treatment methods offered by medical professionals for one disorder of the musculoskeletal system. • Explains the anatomy, physiology and functional roles of the musculoskeletal system. • Describes three different musculoskeletal disorders and the corrective treatments related to these disorders. • Describes and compares the corrective treatments that are used for each of the three disorders you have chosen to 4 BTEC Assignment Brief v1.0 BTEC Internal Assessment QDAM January 2015 research. Sources of information must be appropriately referenced. Correct scientific terminology must be used.
