Muscular and Skeletal Disorders

Pregunta	Respuesta
OSTEOPOROSIS - Skeletal Disorder - Bones become more porous - Density deteriorates over time Image: Osteoporosis (image/jpg)	FACTORS - Sedentary lifestyle/Immobility - Lack of physical activity in youth PREVENTION - Weight bearing activities increase the calcium deposits in the bones, increasing bone density
OSTEOARTHRITIS + Skeletal disorder + Breakdown of cartilage at joints + Happens through repetitive use + Unknown cause Image: Osteoarthritis (image/jpg)	FACTORS +Obesity and Age are common factors + Injuries: can lead to arthritis in those joints in later life PREVENTION +Muscle strengthening exercises to support joints + Aerobic exercises to help muscle/bone
GROWTH PLATE + Similar to a break but doesn't show on X-Rays as it is cartilage + Can seriously hinder growth where injury occurs Image: Growth_PLate_Ankle_Injury.gif (image/gif)	FACTORS + Impact injuries are most common cause - sports like football rugby etc. HOW ARE THEY TREATED + Immobilization + Manipulation / Surgery + Strengthening
JOINT STABILITY + Occurs when the resistance offered by musculo-skeletal tissues is weak + Caused mainly by inactivity Image: Joint_Stability (image/jpg)	FACTORS + Inactivity leads to: -Less synovial fluid in joint -Less elastic ligament - Muscle shortening - Reduced flexibility + High impact activities can damage musculo-skeletal tissue
