Musculoskeletal disorders
Did you know that your bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and
connective tissues all make up your musculoskeletal system. Your
muscles and other soft tissues are supported by your bones. They assist
you in moving, support the weight of your body, and keep your posture.
1. Soleus: did you know that the
Soleus has 2 functional roles in
the legs and that are its strong
plantarflexor and plays a
significant role in running,
walking, and dancing, together
with other calf muscles. During
stance, it is a key postural muscle
that prevents the body from
slipping forward at the ankle.
2. The Platysma is accountable for
causing the skin on your lower
face to wrinkle by pulling the skin
surrounding your lower lip down
or out. Also the platysma muscle
is a superficial neck muscle that
crosses the sternocleidomastoid
in humans. However it
superficially covers the neck's anterior surface. Whenever it
contracts, the neck wrinkles slightly and develops a bowstring look
on both sides.
There are muscle diseases that can result in paralysis, weakness, or
even discomfort. However, muscle disorders can be brought on by
overuse or injury, such as sprains or strains, cramping, or tendinitis. Also
an inherited condition, like muscular dystrophy. It can lead to a huge
effect on the muscle system. Muscular atrophy, which is brought on by
the wasting away of muscle tissue as a result of underuse, can develop
, from muscular illnesses that cause the loss of function of a specific
muscle group. Weakness and a reduction in muscle mass are signs of
muscular atrophy.
Whatever the source, joint inflammation can result in pain, stiffness,
edema, and some skin around the joint redness. Fluid frequently leaks
into the joint cavity, and examining this fluid is frequently a useful
approach for figuring out the type of disease.
Although there are many disorders out there that can destroy the joints
and one of the main and common ones are: arthritis and bone cancer.
This has increased in the population happening to adults around 40 to
80. The common name of the arthritis that affects the joints is called
rheumatoid arthritis which is the immune system attacking the joints.
The other one is called bone cancer where you will get swelling on your
joints making it harder to move. It will turn red and it makes your bones
weak to the point where it turns fragile, meaning that it could easily break
or fracture if you just have a minor injury.
If you get musculoskeletal disorder the only treatments there are
medications such as, non-steroidal and many more. However there are
physical treatments such as physical therapy.
Musculoskeletal disorders are conditions that impact movement and
affect the bones, joints, and skeletal muscles. As a result, all everyday
activities and quality of life are impacted. They make individuals more
vulnerable to accidents and injuries, as well as dependent on others for
help with daily tasks. Many people suffer from musculoskeletal (MSK)
disorders, which can affect your joints, bones, muscles, and occasionally
related tissues including your nerves. They might range from small
wounds to chronic illnesses. Did you know that a long term effect of
musculoskeletal disorder is really dangerous since it could cause
disability or cause pain which is impacting your health.
On the other hand, bones can be pulled by muscles, but they cannot be
pushed back into place by muscles. As a result, flexors and extensors
work together. A joint in the flexor contracts to bend the limb. In order to
