| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Acromegaly | Over secretion of growth hormones, gradual marked soft tissue enlargement and widening/thickening of skeletal bones in the face, jaw, hands and feet Technique Increase |
| Bursitis | Inflammation of the bursa, connective tissue structure surrounding the joint |
| Epicondylitis | Painful inflammation of the muscle and surrounding tissue of the elbow Other names: “tennis elbow” “golfers elbow” |
| Fracture | Breaks in the structures of bone caused by a force, either direct or indirect |
| Gout | Form of arthritis that may be hereditary in which uric acid appears in excessive quantities in the blood, first attacks the first MTP joint Technique: Increase |
| Osgood-Schlatter Disease | Inflammation of the bone and cartilage involving the anterior proximal tibia, injury causes the patellar tendon to detach from part of the tibial tuberosity |
| Osteoarthritis | DJD (degenerative joint disease) non-inflammatory joint disease characterized by gradual deterioration of the articular cartilage with hypertrophic (enlargement or overgrown) bone formation Technique: decrease |
| Osteochondroma | Benign tumor composed of bone and cartilage Technique increase |
| Osteomalacia | (Rickets) Bone softening; lack of bone mineralization because of deficiency of calcium, phosphorus, and or vitamin D Technique: decrease |
| Osteomyelitis | Local or generalized infection of bone and bone marrow usually caused by bacteria introduced by surgery/trauma |
| Osteoporosis | Abnormal loss of bone density and deterioration of bone tissue with an increased fracture risk Technique: decrease |
| Paget’s Disease | Neoplastic bone disease that disrupts new bone growth resulting in over production of very dense, yet soft bone Technique: increase |
| Subluxation | Incomplete dislocation; partial abnormal separation of the articular surfaces of a joint |
| Talipes | Deformity of the foot and ankle, usually congenital; “club foot” |
| Tendinitis | Inflammation of the tendon, usually resulting from strain |
| Osteopetrosis | Increase in bone density, probably caused by faulty bone resorption, resulting from a deficiency of ostoclasts Technique: increase |
| Achondroplasia | A disorder of the growth cartilage in the epiphysis of the long bone and skull; premature ossification, permanent limitation of skeletal development |
| Ankylosing Spondylitis | Chronic inflammatory disease, unknown origin, first affecting the spine and adjacent structures, progressing to eventual fusion (anklyosis) of the involved joints |
| Spondylitis | Inflammation of any of the vertebrae; causes stiffness and pain. Could be caused by traumatic injury, infection, rheumatoid disease |
| Cervical Rib | Rib that articulates with a cervical vertebrae but does not reach the sternum, usually C7 |
| Degenerative Disk Disease | Deterioration of a disk |
| Herniated Disk | Rupture of the fibrocartilage surrounding an intervertebral disk, releasing the nucleus pulposus that cushions the vertebrae above and below-considerable pain, damage nerves |
| Hydrocephalus | Abnormal accumulation of CSF within the cranial vault; dilation of the ventricles |
| Osteophyte | Bony out growth, usually found around a joint |
| Pectus excavatum | Depressed sternum; it will embarrass the heart-surgery is required usually for cosmetic reasons |
| Spina bifida | Congenital neural tube defect; developmental anomaly in the posterior vertebral arch |
| Spondylolisthesis | Partial forward dislocation of one vertebrae over the one below it; usually L5 over SI |
| Spondylolysis | Condition of the spine characterized by fixation or stiffness of a vertebral joint |
| Whiplash | Injury of the cervical vertebrae or supporting ligaments and muscles marked by pain and stiffness; caused by acceleration or deceleration movement of the neck |
| Asthma | Respiratory disorder characterized by recurring episodes of paroxysmal dyspnea, wheezing |
| Atelactesis | Partial or full collapse of a lung Technique: increase |
| Bronchiectasis | Irreversible dilation or widening of bronchi or bronchioles resulting from repeated pulmonary infection or obstruction Technique: same |
| Bronchitis | Acute or chronic condition in which excessive mucus is secreted into the bronchi creating cough and shortness of breath Technique: same |
| COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease | Consistent obstruction of airway as caused by either emphysema or chronic bronchitis Technique: decrease |
| Cystic Fibrosis | Most common of inherited disease, secretions of heavy mucus cause progressive “clogging” of bronchi and bronchioles Technique: Increase with severe condition |
| Emphysema | Irreversible and chronic lung disease in which alveoli air spaces become greatly enlarged Technique: Decrease depending on severity |
| Pleural effusion | Abnormal accumulation of fluid in pleural cavity Types Empyema Hemothorax Technique: increase Pleurisy |
| Empyema | fluid is pus |
| Hemothorax | fluid is blood |
| Pleurisy | Inflammation of the pleura surrounding the lungs |
| Pneumoconiosis | Disease of the lung caused by chronic inhalation of dust Anthracosis (black lung) Asbestosis Silicosis Technique: increase |
| Anthracosis (black lung): | caused by coal dust |
| Asbestosis | caused by inhalation of asbestos |
| Silicosis | inhaling of silica (quartz) dust |
| Pneumothorax | Accumulation of air in pleural space, causing atelectasis Technique: same |
| Tuberculosis TB | Contagious disease caused by airbourne bacteria, potentially fatal Technique: usually same |
