OA
66
describe OA
chronic disabling disease and is vv common
affects articular cartilage
67
occurrence of OA
women 45 and above
male 45 below
68
common race for knee OA
black
69
common race for hip OA
european whites
70
relate women to OA
more serious disabling symptoms - morning stiff, swelling and night pain
higher chance for heberden's nodes
71
risk factors of OA
age and work - primarily
obesity - 2nd
MSK injury
overuse
72
pathologic features of OA
progressive destruction of articular cartilage tas bone forms at margin of joint
exposure of synovial nociceptor causing pain
73
compare remodeling of cartilage in normal and OA
normal - balance in catabolic and anabolic
OA - inc in catabolic = loss of collagen and proteoglycans
74
discuss pathophysio of cartilage destruction
breakdown in central areas muna - small tears or fibrillation
until large tears or clefts na that exposes the bone
75
discuss pathophysio of subchondral bone
undergoes remodeling in response to load - osteophytes form
76
discuss pathophysio of synovial membrane and fluid
defective viscosity, elasticity and shielding bcs of inflammatory reaction
77
criteria for OA diagnosis of knee
clinical and labs is positive
knee pain
age over 50
stiffness less than 30 min
bony tenderness
bony enlargement
no palpable warmth
ESR < 40 mm/hr
Rf < 1:40
non-inflammatory synovial fluid labs
78
score for OA diagnosis
at least 5/9
79
radiographic exam grade 0
normal radiograph
80
radiographic exam grade 1
doubtful narrowing and possible osteophytes
81
radiographic exam grade 2
definite osteophyte and absent or doubtful narrowing
82
radiographic exam grade 3
moderate osteophytes and joint space narrowing
some sclerosis and possible deformity
83
radiographic exam grade 4
large ostephytes and marked narrowing
severe sclerosis and definite deformity
84
explain how blood workups can be use to diagnose OA
CRP and ESR are normal in OA; so marrule out RA kase mag ppositive pag inflammatory
85
explain how MRI can be use to diagnose OA
more sensitive than xray - ordered in spinal OA to identify if may entrapment
rule out avascular necrosis
86
earliest symptom of OA
pain
87

91
non-pharmacologic management for OA
weight loss
exercise flexibility
strengthening
inc proprioception and balance
modalities
orthotic managemet
92
discuss significance of weight loss for OA
obesity is a risk factor - prevent onset and progression if lighter
93
discuss significance of flexibility for OA
decreases shortening of tendinous structures
dec joint stiffness
dec shortening of muscles
avoid ballistic stretch
94
discuss significance of strengthening for OA
quads if weak - highly disabling
okc muna until ckc
isometric if may pain until isotonic
95
most beneficial exercise for OA
isotonic - combi of okc and ckc
96
discuss significance of proprioception and balance for OA
postural stability reduces impact on hips and knees = decrease progression
97
discuss significance of hydrotherapy for OA
for improving flexibillity
98
discuss significance of ice for OA
good for ROM, function and knee strength tas dec swelling
99
discuss significance of TENS for OA
relieves pain and improves function
100
discuss significance of orthotic management for OA
reduces ambulation induced pain = better function
helps in energy conservation and joint protection = delay onset or progrression
101
pharmacologic management of OA
acetaminophen, NSAIDS, steroids or COx2

RA - NSAID, steroids, immunosuppresants
117
