Exam 41: Alterations of Musculoskeletal Function in Children

In both adult and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis,the large joints are predominately affected.

MATCHING Match the type of muscular dystrophy with its description.The types may be used more than once. -Onset at approximately age 3 with rapid progression and frequent mental retardation

The most common skeletal defect of the upper extremity is:

Which skeletal deformity is normal at birth,but disappears by age 2.5 years?

Growth from epiphyseal lines takes place at the same rate at both ends of the bones because they are under hormonal control.

In osteomyelitis,infection may spread to adjacent joints in the leg because the epiphyseal plate of the proximal femur is located within the hip joint and the distal femur is partially located within the knee.

The major errors in osteogenesis imperfecta lie in the synthesis of:

Rhabdosarcoma can develop anywhere _____ muscle is located.

MATCHING Match the type of muscular dystrophy with its description.The types may be used more than once. -Muscle weakness always begins in the pelvic girdle causing a "waddling" gait

The total mass of muscle in the body can be estimated from which serum laboratory test value?

What contributes to the pulmonary complications in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy?

What is Osgood-Schlatter disease?

MATCHING Match the type of muscular dystrophy with its description.The types may be used more than once. -First symptoms are drooping of shoulders and difficulty raising arms above the head

MATCHING Match the type of muscular dystrophy with its description.The types may be used more than once. -Distal muscles of the lower extremities are involved causing foot drop

How do children describe the pain experienced in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease?

Poor posture results in structural scoliosis.

MATCHING Match the type of muscular dystrophy with its description.The types may be used more than once. -Often called the benign Duchenne muscular dystrophy because it shares the inheritance link,but produces milder symptoms

The onset of Duchenne muscular dystrophy usually occurs at approximately 3 years of age.

MATCHING Match the type of muscular dystrophy with its description.The types may be used more than once. -If the affected individual marries and has children,all daughters will be carriers of this X-linked recessive disorder

Limb girdle muscular dystrophy is considered when acute causes of proximal weakness are eliminated and the clinical findings and inheritance pattern eliminate Duchenne and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
