Musculoskeletal Assessment Spring 14
Musculoskeletal System Provides support for the body Protection for the internal organs Mobility to engage in physical activities Production of red blood cells Storage of minerals
Musculoskeletal System Bones muscles Ligaments Tendons Cartilage joints MRI of the shoulder
Musculoskeletal System Neurological assessment important in Musculoskeletal assessment CNS coordinates muscle and bone function Disorders can affect the individual at any age
Musculoskeletal System M/S concerns vary at different ages Children and young adults Injuries Middle-aged and Older adults Inflammatory Degenerative Rheumatic conditions
Purpose of Assessment Perform a systematic functional assessment Activities of daily living Detection of common dysfunctions
Assessment Correct diagnosis depends on an accurate patient history and thorough examination Can be made on a specific body part or part of a general physical examination Accidents often result in trauma to the musculoskeletal system and require a thorough assessment
Complaints that should alert the nurse to obtain subjective and objective data related to the M/S system is: JOINT OR MUSCLE PAIN JOINT SWELLING DECREASING STRENGTH OR FUNCTION CHANGE IN SIZE OF AN EXTREMITY OR MUSCLE DEFORMITY SPASM CREPITATION CHANGES IN SENSATION STIFFNESS CHANGES IN GAIT

Coping-Stress Tolerance Pattern Describe how you deal with the problems such as pain or immobility that have resulted from your musculoskeletal problem. Serious stressors- acute or chronic pain Pain is exhausting!! Physically and emotionally
Value-Belief Pattern Describe any cultural or religious beliefs that may influence the treatment of your musculoskeletal problem.
Pain Assessment Character Precipitating or alleviating factors Onset Location Timing Referred pain
Specific Complaints Character: which joint(s) affected, number of joints involved, pain, ache, stiffness or limitation of movement, redness, increased warmth, or swelling, pain associated with particular movement or weight bearing Onset: specific date of first episode (or age when occurred), sudden, gradual
Specific Complaints Duration: length of episode Frequency: change in pattern, similar episodes in past Precipitating factors: specific movements, prolonged activity, rest, injury, weather, time of day, specific foods, medications (diuretics) alcohol intake
Specific Complaints Alleviating factors: rest, movement Associated symptoms: fever, weight loss, fatigue, malaise, rash, chronic diarrhea Efforts to treat and their effectiveness: medications, heat and/or ice, exercise, weight reduction, splints, home remedies
Injury Complaint Mechanism of Injury: what happened-direct trauma, overuse, overstretching, fall Character: location of pain; any noise with injury (popping, click, tearing) numbness; tingling; loss of sensation, strength, or mobility; warmth or coldness, swelling (immediate or gradual)
Injury Complaint Duration: length of episode Frequency: similar episodes in the past Precipitating factors: sudden movement, repetitive movement, stress
Injury Complaint Alleviating factors: rest, position of comfort Associated symptoms or conditions: loss of consciousness, other injuries Efforts to treat and their effectiveness: medications, heat and/or ice, splints, immobilization, home remedies
Objective Data Primary methods used in the physical examination of the musculoskeletal system Inspection Palpation Clues received from health history
Inspection Observe for any asymmetry Sitting and standing posture General body build Configuration of muscles Limitations in patient’s ability to perform normal activities (dressing, toileting, eating)
Inspection Condition of the skin General color Scars Overt signs of previous injury or operations Head – toe Avoids missing anything Joint motion Asymmetry of movement
Inspection Swelling Deformity Masses Evidence of limb-length or muscle-size discrepancies Opposite body part used for comparison when abnormality is suspected
Palpation Any area that has aroused concern should be carefully palpated Hands should be warm to prevent spasm Palpation of soft tissues (including muscles and joints) enables examiner to evaluate skin temperature, local tenderness, swelling, and crepitation Establish relationship of adjacent structures
Palpation Evaluate general contour Evaluate abnormal prominences Evaluate local landmarks Both superficial and deep palpation are performed Evaluate passive and active range of joint motion Passive- someone else doing the moving Be careful not to overextend patient’s limitations Manipulation must cease immediately if this occurs
Palpation Active- patient moves own joints through their normal ROM Functional- assessed by asking patient to go about doing own ADLs (eating, bathing, etc) Patient may require assistive device to perform functional Joint motion most accurately measured by goniometer
Palpation Measures amount of bending or angles of joints Not usually measured unless a musculoskeletal problem has been identified Less accurate but valuable method is to compare ROM of one extremity with the corresponding opposite one!
Measurement Limb length When gait disorders are detected Measured and compared between 2 bony prominences Circumferential measurement Muscle mass
Muscle-strength testing Individual muscle or muscle groups Graded in performance Applied resistance
Gait Assess by walking across the room Observe Stance-and-Swing Phase Musculoskeletal and neurologic problems can result in gait abnormalities
Other Assessment of reflexes
Movement of Synovial Joints Flexion Bending of joint that decreases angle between two bones Shortening of muscle length Extension Bending of joint that increases angle between two bones Hyperextension Extension in which angle exceeds 180 degrees
Movement of Synovial Joints Abduction Movement of part away from midline Adduction Movement of part toward midline Pronation Turning of palm downward or sole outward Supination Turning of palm upward or sole inward
Movement of Synovial Joints Circumduction Combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction Resulting in circular motion of body part Rotation Movement about longitudinal axis Inversion Turning of sole inward toward midline Eversion Turning of sole outward away from midline
Common Assessment Abnormalities Ankylosis Scarring within a joint leading to stiffness or fixation Chronic joint inflammation
Common Assessment Abnormalities Atrophy Wasting of muscle Characterized by decrease in circumference and flabby appearance Resulting in decrease in function and muscle tone Prolonged disuse Contracture Immobilization Muscle denervation
Common Assessment Abnormalities Contracture Resistance to movement of muscle or joint A result of fibrosis of supporting soft tissues Shortening of muscle or ligament structure Tightness of soft tissue Immobilization Incorrect positioning
Common Assessment Abnormalities Crepitation Crackling sound or grating sensation as result of friction between bones Fracture Chronic inflammation Dislocation
Common Assessment Abnormalities Effusion Fluid in joint possibly with swelling and pain Trauma Especially to knee
Common Assessment Abnormalities Felon Abscess occurring in pulp space (tissue mass) of distal phalanx of finger Result of infection Minor hand injury Puncture wound laceration
Common Assessment Abnormalities Ganglion Small, fluid-filled synovial cyst Usually dorsal surface of wrist and foot Degeneration of connective tissue close to tendons and joints Leading to formation of small cysts
Common Assessment Abnormalities Hypertrophy Increase in size of muscle Result of enlargement of existing cells Exercise Increased andogens Increased stimulation or use
Common Assessment Abnormalities Kyphosis (round back) Anterioposterior or forward bending of spine with convexity of curve in posterior direction Common at thoracic and sacral levels Poor posture Tuberculosis Chronic arthritis Growth disturbance of vertebral epiphysis osteoporosis
Common Assessment Abnormalities Lordosis Deformity of spine Results in anterioposterior curvature with concavity in posterior direction Common in lumbar spine Secondary to other deformities of the spine Muscular dystrophy Obesity Flexion contracture of hip Congenital dislocation of hip
Common Assessment Abnormalities Pes planus Flatfoot Congenital condition Muscle paralysis Mild cerebral palsy Early muscular dystrophy
Common Assessment Abnormalities Scoliosis Deformity resulting in lateral curvature of spine Idiopathic or congenital condition Fracture or dislocation Oseomalacia Functional condition
Common Assessment Abnormalities Subluxation Partial dislocation of joint Instability of joint capsule and supporting ligaments (trauma, arthritis)
Common Assessment Abnormalities Valgus Angulation of bone away from midline Alteration in gait Pain Abnormal erosion of articular cartilage
Common Assessment Abnormalities Varus Angulation of bone toward midline Alteration in gait Pain Abnormal erosion of articular cartilage
