Q

Muscular dystophy

A

Group of hereditary muscular disorders marked by progressive weakness and muscle atrophy

16
Q

Myasthenia gravis

A

An autoimmune disease characterized by progressive muscular weakness due to its effect on the neuromuscular junctions.

17
Q

Polymyositis

A

Inflammation of skeletal muscle leads to weakness; can lead to dysphagia or cardiac problems; often associated with other diseases such as RA or lupus

18
Q

Repetitive strain injury (RSI)

A

Tissue damage damage caused by repeated motion in occupational activities ex carpal tunnel

19
Q

Restless leg syndrome (RLS)

A

Uneasiness, twitching or restlessness in the legs after going to bed and often leading to insomnia; may be due to poor circulation or drug side effects

20
Q

Rheumatism

A

General term for inflammation, soreness and stiffness of muscles associated with joint pain

21
Q

Spasm

A

sudden, involuntary muscle contraction; may be clonic
(contraction alternating with relaxation) or tonic
(sustained); a cramp is a strong and painful spasm

22
Q

Spasticity

A

increased tone or contraction of muscles causing stiff and awkward movements

23
Q

Sprain

A

injury to a ligament by abnormal or excessive force at a joint but w/o bone dislocation or fracture

24
Q

Strain

A

muscle trauma due to overuse or excessive stretch; if severe may involve muscle tearing, bleeding, or separation from its tendon or tendon from bone

25
Q

Stress injury

A

common ones: rotator cuff(RTC); epicondilytis(medialgolfer’s elbow, lateral-tennis elbow); carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS); trigger finger; “pulled” hamstring; shin-splints; Achilles tendinitis

26
Q

Tendinitis

A

inflammation of a tendon, usually caused by injury or overuse

27
Q

Tetanus

A

acute, infectious disease with painful, persistent spasms of voluntary muscles; lockjaw

28
Q

Tetany

A

condition of spasms, cramps & muscle twitching due to metabolic imbalance; eg. low blood calcium

29
Q
