(8 general categories)

2. closed: skin remains intact

5. greenstick: break on one side of the bone that does not damage periosteum of the other side (often seen in children)
6. nonunion: break that fails to heal after 9-12 months
7. stress: break due to repeated forces on a particular portion
8. spiral: break shaped like an "S" due to torsion and twisting
69

70
Scoliosis (Cobb angle)
Cobb angles:

<25: therapy and exercise with continued observation
71
Scoliosis Types
idiopathic, most comomonly diagnose between 10-13, girls > boys
degenerative: normal aging process (structural)
functional: abnormalities in the body that directly impact the spine (nonstructural)
neuromuscular: developmental pathology resulting from alterations within the structure of the spine (structural)
congenital: abnormal vertebral development in utero
shoulder height asymmetry with/without presence of rib hump
72
TMJ Muscle Actions
elevation: masseter, medial pterygoid, temporalis
depression: infrahyoid, lateral pterygoid, suprahyoid
protraction: medial pterygoid, masseter, lateral pterygoid
retraction: digastric, medial pterygoid, temporalis
lateral excursion: medial pterygoid, masseter, lateral pterygoid, temporalis
*lateral pterygoid is most related to joint
73
TMJ motion norms
opening: 40-50mm
- >50mm is excessive
- <35mm limited
lateral excursion: 8-12mm either direction without pain
protrusion: 6-7mm
74

77
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Systemic autoimmune disorder
Chronic inflammatory reaction
Onset may start in any joint, but typically small bones of hands, feet, wrists, and ankles
Exacerbations and remissions
Blood tests: rheumatoid factor, WBC count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (inflammation), hemoglobin, and hematocrit values
Joint pain, morning stiffness, warm joints, decrease in appetite, malaise, fatigue, swan neck deformity, boutonnière deformity, low grade fever
DMARDs: slow acting, but can slow progression of joint deformity and destruction
78
Active and Passive Insufficiency
Active insufficiency: when a muscle that crosses multiple joints shortens across all the joints simultaneously, significantly reducing ability to generate force (too short to contract effectively)
Passive insufficiency: when a muscle is stretched to its maximum length across multiple joints, limiting ROM at the joints due to the muscle not being long enough to allow full movement at each joint simultaneously (too stretched to allow full ROM)
79
TFCC
Between ulna, lunate, and triquetrum
Provides stability to the wrist joint
Connecting the radius and ulna together
Allows for better distribution of forces through wrist
