Definition of (neuro)musculoskeletal disorders?
Injuries and disorders of the muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments, joints, cartilage, bones, and spinal discs
MSD?
musculoskeletal disorder
WMSD?
Work-related musculoskeletal disorder
UEMSD
upper extremeity musculoskeletal disorder
CTD
cumulative trauma disorder
CTS
carpal tunnel syndrome
Estimated cost for overall MSD?
$254 billion in USA and $25 billion in Canada
Percentage of all claims to WSIB are from the upper extremity?
Approx. 30%, with the finger causing the most issues
Wide variation in estimates of specific UEMSD prevalence is due to?
Recording/reporting of injuries, definition of a disorder, and the population being studied
Prevalence vs. Incidence?
Prevalence is the portion of the population that already has the disorder/disease. Incidence is the portion of the population that newly has the disorder/disease.
What are the fastest growing cause of occupational disability?
UEMSD, especially the shoulder because they have the longest return to work (approx 45 days) because they are cumulative not traumatic injuries.
Students and MSD, who is protected and who is more at risk?
Protective: being a history major or an athlete. Risk: computer use greater than 20 hours per week, being a computer science major, and being female!
Percentage of GDP that is spent on MSds?
3.4-5%
Tissue types for UEDs?
tendon, ligament, muscle, nerve, vascular, bursa, cartilage, bone, other connective tissue (i.e. labrum)
Itis?
Inflammation
Syndrome?
Usually neural
Some examples of nerve disorders in the UE?
thoracic outlet syndrome, digital neuritis (bowler’s thumb),
Some exaples of tendon disorders in the UE?
Rotator cuff tendinitis, flexor tendinitis, ganglionic cyst
Some examples of muscle disorder in UE?
Focal dystonia, tension nexk syndrome
Some examples of vascular disorders in UE?
White finger, Raynaud’s syndrome
Role of the tendon?
Transmit forces from muscles to bones
Tenosynovitis?
Inflammation of the tendon and the tendon sheath. Really bad because the more that swells the more compression there is, increasing chances of nerve problems
Tendinitis?
Inflammation of JUST the tendon
Enthesopathy?
insertional tendonsitis…occurs at bond-tendon junction
