The musculoskeletal system gives us our form and allows us to move. The skeleton holds everything in the body in place and protects it while the muscles let us move. As is suggested by its name‚ the musculoskeletal system is made up of both the muscular system and the skeletal system and is primarily responsible for the structure‚ support and movement of the body. Without this system‚ the body would not have any form and would not even be able to hold itself up‚ let alone move. The skeletal system

The Musculoskeletal System The Musculoskeletal System combines the skeletal system and the muscular system. All of the bones‚ cartilage‚ muscles‚ joints‚ tendons and ligaments in a person’s body compose what is known as the musculoskeletal system. The bones provide the body with a framework‚ giving it shape and support; they also serve as protection for internal organs such as the lungs and liver. Muscles are fibres that help to make deliberate movement of a body part or involuntary movement within

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Discussion One of the most common musculoskeletal disorders is scoliosis. It is a disorder which causes an abnormal curvature of the backbone or spine. Since the spine normally has curvatures when seen from the sides‚ the curvature associated to scoliosis can be seen from the front. Scoliosis is two-times more predominant in females than in males. It can occur at any age but is more common in people over 10 years of age. It is hereditary

each group will be assigned a system to research. You need to make sure your group researches your particular area thoroughly and covers the following responses depending on what system has been assigned. Your group will then present back the findings to the rest of the group through a detailed and informative A3 poster. • Musculoskeletal response: increased blood supply; increase in muscle pliability; increased range of movement; muscle fibre micro tears • Energy systems: phosphocreatine; lactic acid;

Case Study #32 Musculoskeletal Disorders 1. An x-ray examination of the thoracic spine reveals osteopenic changes at T7. What does this mean? Osteopenia means that the bone is thinning which could lead to fractures. Bone thinning leads to osteoporosis. Decreased bone density occurs as people age. BMD determines bone strength and it peaks around 25-30 years of age. After these peak years‚ bone breabsorption exceeds bone building which causes a decrease in bone density. Ignatavicius‚ D.‚ D.
