loss of range of motion in the shoulder

 aka frozen shoulder

injury to one of the stabilizing ligaments of the knee, which originates on the anterior portion of the femur

condition of inflammation of the tiny fluid-filled sacs that act as cushions and provide lubrication to decrease friction and irritation between structures such as bones, tendons, muscles, and skin

compression of the median nerve, causing pain or numbness in the wrist, hand, and fingers

condition in which the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint flexes dorsally while the other joint or joints in the toe flex toward the sole

fibrosis of connective tissue which decreases the mobility of a joint

grating sound from broken bones, or a clicking or crackling sound from joints

displacement or separation of a bone from its normal position where it articulates with another bone

test used to evaluate and record the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles; used to diagnose neuromuscular disorders

chronic condition marked by pain in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues of the body

condition in which a bone is broken or cracked

condition in which one or more small, benign tumors filled with a thick, colorless, gelatinous substance develop over a joint or tendon, usually on the wrist or back of the hand

aka bible cyst

hereditary form of arthritis, characterized by uric acid accumulation in the joints, especially in the great toe

condition in which degenerative arthritis affects the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint at the base of the big toe, causing pain and stiffness

condition in which the big toe is improperly aligned, pointing laterally toward the second toe and creating a large bump on teh inner edge of the foot at the base of the big toe, -> bunion

condition in which the toe is bent downward at the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint

herniation of the soft center of an intervertebral disk

disorder similar to adult-onset RA, with earlier onset and more severe symptoms

abnormal increase in the curvature of the thoracic vertebrae, causing hunchback

abnormal increase in the curvature of the lumbar vertebrae, causing swayback

condition in which the toe is bent downward at the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint

painful condition involving tiny tears in the muscles and tendons that attach to the anterior tibia (shin)

->shin splints

tear of one of the two C-shaped cartilage structures that serve to cushion and stabilize the knee joint, usually caused by a twisting force

hereditary, progressive, terminal disease that causes muscle atrophy and death, usually by age 20

autoimmune motor disorder that causes progressive muscle fatigue and weakness

chronic condition in which the process of bone destruction and regrowth occurs abnormally, causing weak, fragile, enlarged, and misshapen bones

-> paget disease

condition of cartilage deterioration and joint inflammation marked by pain, stiffness, and decreased ROM, most commonly affecting synovial weight-bearing joints and vertebrae

condition of softening and weakening of the bones; when it occurs in children its called rickets

acute or chronic infection within the bone, most commonly affecting the legs, arms, pelvis, and spine

condition characterized by loss of bone mass throughtout the skeleton

breaking of diseased, weakened bone from the stress of normal everyday activities

painful condition of the supporting structures of the arch of the foot, primarily the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that connects the hell with the toes

autoimmune arthritis that causes progressive joint pain and deformity and may affect organ systems

traumatic rip of one or more of the muscles or tendons within the rotator cuff of the shoulder

abnormal S-shaped lateral curvature of the vertebrae

complete or incomplete tear in the ligaments around a joint

trauma to a muscle, and sometimes a tendon, due to violent contraction or excessive forcible stretching

inflammation of a tendon due to overuse

group of painful disorders involving compression of the nerves or vessels in the neck and arms

radiological examination of a joint after injection of a contrast fluid into the joint space

removal of a bone marrow specimen from the cortex of a flat bone for analysis

use of a gamma camera to detect abnormalities in bone density after injection of radioactive material

test to measure isoenzyme released by skeletal and cardiac muscle into the blood when they are damaged

application of cold, such as with ice compresses, to decrease inflammation and pain

radiological evaluation of bone density to detect osteoporosis

record of skeletal-muscle electrical activity, used to diagnose neuromuscular disorders

rate at which RBCs settle in a tube of unclotted blood; an elevated ESR indicates inflammation

blood test used to identify rheumatoid arthritis and other disorders

procedure to replace an arthritic hip with a prosthetic device to restore mobility and function

--> total hip arthroplasty

delivery of a mild electrical current to a painful area, to disrupt transmission of pain signals between the body and brain
