Document Summary
Week 5 mobility and musculoskeletal assessment (pg. Bones compact bone and cancellous bone (aka spongy bone) Muscle smooth (arteries), skeletal (bones), cardiac (heart) Joints: fibrous (synarthrotic) joints, cartilaginous (amphiarthrotic) joints, synovial (diarthrotic) joints problems occur most often in knee, temporomandibular joint jaw bone articulate with temporal bone. Connective tissue: cartilage hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage, ligaments bone to bone, tendons muscle to bone, fascia sheet of connective tissue around muscle. Women who are pregnant: weight in pelvis and abdominal puts pressure on joints; lordosis may occur. Infants and children: depends on stage; scoliosis is common in teens. Older adults: bones become less dense; more susceptible to fractures, compressions. Age: variations in hormone levels (eg. estrogen) Diet: nutrients are key to success; calcium from dairy products and broccoli; vitamin d from sun. Genetics: eg. more dense bones vs less dense bones, height, weight. Focus = identifying the specific problem, alleviating pain and preventing complications through health promotion.
