Question | Answer |
---|---|
Components of the MS System | Bone, Articular Tissue, Connective Tissue |
Articular Tissue | Cartilage, Synovium |
Connective Tissue | Muscle, Ligaments, Tendons |
Bones: Numbers | 80 in axial skeleton; 126 in appendicular skeleton; 27 in the hand |
Regions of long bones | Epiphysis; Physis; Metaphysis ; Diaphysis |
Epiphysis = | above growth plate |
Physis = | growth plate |
Diaphysis = | shaft |
Physis in children: | is open (i.e., growth plate) |
Types of Bone | Cortical; Cancellous |
Cortical bone = | Compact, makes up 80% of skeleton (e.g., diaphysis of long bones) |
Cancellous bone = | Spongy or trabecular ; more prominent in spine & pelvis (e.g., metaphysis of long bones) |
Periosteum = | Highly vascular membrane that covers bone; more prominent in children |
Bone Marrow = | Source of hematopoietic progenitor cells |
Highly vascular membrane that covers bone; more prominent in children | Periosteum |
Source of hematopoietic progenitor cells Bone | Marrow |
Organic Bone Matrix wrt weight | Organic matrix composes 40% of bone dry wt |
Organic Bone Matrix = | Type I Collagen, Proteoglycans, Noncollagenous matrix proteins, GFs & cytokines |
Type I Collagen = | 90% of organic matrix |
Bone strength from: | Type I Collagen (tensile strength); Proteoglycans (compressive strength) |
Noncollagenous matrix proteins promote: | mineralization & bone formation |
Growth factors & cytokines = | Interleukins, transforming growth factor |
Inorganic Bone Matrix = | Calcium hydroxyapatite; Osteocalcium phosphate (Brushite) |
Mineral components wrt weight | Mineral components compose 60% of the dry wt of bone |
Metaphyseal - Epiphyseal System | Arises from periarticular vascular plexus |
Periosteal System | Low pressure capillary system supplies outer 1/3 of diaphyseal cortex |
Bone maintained by metabolism of: | Ca & PO4 |
Amount Ca & PO4 in bone | 99% of Ca & 85% of PO4 found in Bone |
Needed for gut Ca absorption: | Vitamin D |
Increases plasma Ca by increasing gut absorption & bone resorption: | PTH |
Osteoblasts = | Cells that form bone, producing type I collagen |
Osteoclasts = | Cells that resorb bone |
Osteocytes = | Cells that maintain bone; make up 90% of mature skeleton |
Fracture Healing: stages | Inflammation, Repair, Remodeling |
Fracture Healing: Remodeling stage | Begins mid repair phase; continues for several months |
Types of Cartilage | Fibrocartilage, Elastic cartilage, Fibroelastic cartilage, Articular cartilage |
Fibrocartilage | Area for bone & tendon insertion |
Elastic cartilage | Nose, auricle |
Fibroelastic cartilage: | Menisci (functions to deepen articular surface & stabilize joint) |
Articular cartilage: | Hyaline (aids in load distribution & decreasing joint friction) |
Synovium = | Membrane lines the joint; mediates exchange of nutrients between blood & joint fluid |
Synovial (Joint) Fluid: | Nourishes articular cartilage; lubricates articular surfaces |
Bursa: | Fluid-filled potential space over areas of friction |
Combine into myofibrils: | Actin & Myosin filaments |
Myofibrils combine into: | muscle fibers |
Muscle fibers combine into: | muscle fascicles |
Blood supply to long bones | Nutrient Artery System; Metaphyseal-Epiphyseal System; Periosteal System |
Nutrient Artery System: | Nutrient a. enters diaphyseal cortex thru nutrient foramen into medullary canal |
Bone remodeling MOA | Osteoclasts resorb bone followed by new bone deposition by osteoblasts |
Wolff’s law | Increase in external stress leads to bone formation; removal of external stress leads to bone resorption |
Change in bone marrow with aging | Red (active) marrow changes to yellow (fatty, inactive) marrow |
Peak bone mass at age: | 16 to 25 y.o. |
Isotonic contraction: | Constant tension through ROM |
Concentric contraction: | muscle shortens |
Eccentric contraction: | muscle elongates |
Isometric contraction: | Muscle tension with length constant |
Isokinetic contraction: | Concentric or eccentric contraction at constant speed over ROM |
Gait Analysis: Width of the gait: | Normal =2-4 in heel to heel; Wide based gaits = instability |
Gait Analysis: Ctr of gravity: | Normal gait oscillates no more than 2 in. vertically; pain & mx weakness => pt shifts COG over affected hip |
Gait Analysis: Pelvic shift: | pelvis & trunk shift laterally 1 in. to wt bearing side |
Gait Analysis: Pelvic shift: in gluteus mx weakness: | lateral shift is accentuated to the side involved |
Gait Analysis: Length of step: | Ave length is 15 in. With age/ fatigue/ pathology: step is shortened |
Gait Analysis: Cadence: | Ave cadence is 90-120 steps/ min. With age/ fatigue/ pain: cadence is decreased to conserve energy |
Gait Analysis: Pelvic rotation: | Normal during swing phase = 40 degrees in leg that is moving forward; if pain or stiffness in hip, pelvis will not rotate normally |
Antalgic gait: | Limp from pain |
Wide based gait = | Instability from cerebellar disease or peripheral neuropathy |
Steppage gait = | Weak ankle dorsiflexors results in increase knee & hip flexion |
Flat foot gait = | Gastrocnemius/ Soleus weakness (S1-S2 radiculopathy) |
Back Knee gait = | Quadriceps weakness forces pt to push on thigh w/ hand to try to lock knee in stance phase |
Trendelenberg (abduction lurch) gait = | Gluteus medius weakness (L5); pt lurches toward weak side to place COG over hip |
Extensor lurch = | Gluteus max weakness (S1); pt thrusts thorax posteriorly to maintain hip extension |
Foot Drop = | Weakness of tibialis anterior (L4) |
