what is true about Becker MD
less common, 1 in 30K live male births, less severe,
family hx: atypical MD, similar but less severe than
DMD,
pseudohypertrophy of calf, equinous and varus
foot, high rate of scoliosis, less frequent cardiac
involvement. what muscular dystrophy
Becker
what is true about Becker MD about progression
slower, ambulate until adolescence, longer life
expectancy
myasthenia gravis
chronic autoimmune disease affecting the
neuromuscular function of voluntary muscles and
characterized by profound muscle weakness and
fatiguability.
poorl characterized chronic disorder associated
with generalized pain, stiffiness, sleep dysfunction,
and fatigability
fibromyalgia
what is the problem with fibromyalgia
,chronic widespread joint and muscle pain, fatigue
and tender points
what type of dysfunction with fibromyalgia
central nervous system; amplified pain
transmission and interpretation: central
sensitization
what type of symptoms with fibromyalgia
vague; inceased sensititivy to touch, absence of
inflammation, fatigue, sleep disturbances
possible factors for fibromyalgia
Flu-like viral illness, chronic fatigue syndrome,
human immunodeficiency viral (HIV) infection,
Lyme disease, medications, physical or emotional
trauma
clinical manifestations of fibromyalgia
Diffuse, chronic pain
Nine pairs (18) of tender points
Must have tenderness in 11 of these tender points
chronic fatigue syndrome also known as
myalgic encephalomyelitis
Osteoclasts are
a cell responsible for bone resorption
,Osteocytes
mature bone cells
osteoblasts
bone forming cells
osteophytes
bone spurs
what part of the joint is insensitive to pain?
Normal articular cartilage has no blood vessels,
lymph vessels, or nerves. Therefore, it is
insensitive to pain and regenerates slowly and
minimally after injury.
fracture
to break (a bone) and reflects type of tension
stress placed on the bone
transverse fracture
straight line at approximately 90deg to the
longitudinal axis of bone.
spiral fracture
rotational forces and cause bone to separate in
form of an S around the bone
longitudinal fracture
split bone alongs its length
oblique fracture:
, rotational force, but unlike spiral fractures, the
break is along an oblique course (45-degree angel)
and does not rotate around the entire bone.
comminuted fracture
consist of more than one fracture line and more
than two bone fragments. These fragments may be
shattered or crushed.
what causes considerable treatment problems
because of associated soft tissue damage and
multiple bone fragments
comminuted fracture
impacted fracture:
caused by excessive force that telescopes or drives
one fragment into another
greenstick fracture
incomplete break in bone with intact side of the
cortex flexed. Usually seen in children.
stress fracture
failure of one cortical surface of the bone, often
caused by repeititve activity such as running.
Without proper treatment, a stress fracture can
become
a complete fracture with two distint fragments.
Avulsion fracture:
