Question 4

The rapid breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue as a consequence of mechanical (crush injury, burns), physical (prolonged high fever, electric current, strenuous exercise) or chemical (medications [statins], excessive alcohol) traumatic injury; muscle pain and weakness range from mild to severe

Answer 4

Rhabdomyolysis

myopathy

Question 6

Term used to describe idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

Answer 6

Answer 7

Critical illness myopathy

Question 8

a hyper irritable spot in a taut band of skeletal muscle that is painful on compression, stretch, overload, or contraction of the tissue, which usually responds with a referred pain that is perceived distant from the spot

Answer 8

Trigger points (myofascial pain syndrome)
Active TrPs = spontaneous local and referred pain
Latent TrPs = pain upon stimulation

Question 9

The specific dysfunction of the skeletal muscle layer in the pelvic floor; underactive = a situation in which PFM cannot voluntarily contract when it is appropriate, incontinence pelvic organ prolapse; Overactive PFM = the PFMs do not relax or may even contract when relaxation is functionally needed, pelvic pain dyspareunia, obstructive defecation

Answer 9

Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction

Question 10

pain related to the coccyx and the muscles attached to the coccyx; can be due to direct trauma related to childbirth or fall, musculoskeletal, inflammation related to trauma or sacrococcygeal calcium deposits, infections, referred pain from visceral sources in the pelvis, neoplasm (sacral chorodoma), or centralized pain syndrom

Answer 10

coccygodynia

Question 11

a process of progressive cartilage degeneration resulting in narrowing of the joint space and loss of motion; most often seen as a complication of slipped capital femoral epiphysis, but can occur in association with infection, trauma and prolonged immobilization
