State of Musculoskeletal Health 2017 03 Glossary Back to Index Arthritis – a general term that most people use to mean painful joints. Mortality – a term used to describe the number of people who died Medically, it refers to a number of different conditions leading to within a population. A mortality rate is the number of deaths due to inflamed or damaged joints. a specific cause divided by the total population over a given period. Comorbidity – any additional health conditions that people may have, Multimorbidity – a person living with multimorbidity has two or more beyond the main condition being addressed.2 long term chronic conditions.5 Disabled – someone with a long–term condition who reports it reduces Musculoskeletal conditions – a broad range of health conditions their ability to carry out day to day activities, as defined by the Equality affecting bones, joints and muscles, pain syndromes and rarer Act 2010.3 conditions of the immune system. Disability adjusted life–year (DALY) – A single metric of overall disease Prevalence – the percentage of a population that is affected with burden combining years of life lost (YLLs) due to mortality and years a particular disease at a given time. lived with disability (YLDs). One DALY can be thought of as one lost year of healthy life.4 Risk factor – any attribute, characteristic or exposure of an individual that increases the likelihood of developing a disease or disorder. Some Finished consultant episodes (FCEs) – one episode of care within an risk factors are modifiable, because you can change them (e.g. smoking, inpatient stay under one responsible consultant. obesity, diet). Other risk factors are non–modifiable, because you can’t directly change them (e.g. age, sex, family history). Incidence – the rate of new (or newly diagnosed) cases of disease, generally reported as the number of new cases occurring within Work days lost – the number of work days lost for all people in a period of time (e.g. per month, per year). employment aged over 16 years due to sickness absence. Literature review – a review of information found in the literature related Work related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) – a self–reported to a selected area or topic of research. musculoskeletal condition which a person thinks has been caused or made worse by their current or past work.

    WORK RELATED MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS (WMSDS) Table of Contents What Are Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) 1 How Do You Treat WMSDs 1 What Is Ergonomics? 2 Using Ergonomics In The Workplace 3 Putting Ergonomic Recommendations in Place 6 Useful Readings 7 WOR K REL ATED MUSCULOSKEL E TA L DISORDER S (WMSDS ) WHAT ARE WORK RELATED MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS (WMSDs)? WHEN A MUSCLE, TENDON, NERVE OR JOINT IS STRESSED AND TRAUMATIZED ON A REPEATED BASIS FOR DAYS, MONTHS OR YEARS, THOSE BODY TISSUES EVENTUALLY BECOME DAMAGED. This leads to a work related musculoskeletal disorder. Work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are sometimes called repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), cumulative trauma disorders and overuse injuries. When a WMSD develops, a worker experiences: 1. Swelling, as some tissues become irritated 2. Pain 3. Stiffness and loss of range of motion of surrounding joints 4. Inability to work and function at home Besides the most common upper extremity disorders, WMSDs may also affect the low back, knees, ankles and feet. HOW DO YOU TREAT WMSDs? Ergonomics should be a priority in the workplace, so WMSDs are prevented instead of treated. If you think you have signs and symptoms of a repetitive strain injury, see your doctor. Make sure your doctor has a description of your job and understands how your job affects your body. Treatment may involve a combination of approaches such as: Job modifications Services of health professionals, such as physiotherapists or massage therapists Exercise program Use of medication

  • Musculoskeletal Disorder Injury Prevention Training
    Musculoskeletal Disorder Injury Prevention Training for DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS Musculoskeletal Disorder Injury Prevention Training for Direct Support Professionals While working as a Direct Support Professional, your role includes assisting people with a variety of activities of daily living either within their home, or in the community. Without proper training, however, employees are at risk of injuries such as strains and tendonitis. These Musculo-skeletal Disorders, or MSDs, are becoming more common, but they can be prevented. In today's video, we'll discuss the importance of proper training and risk assessment. Working with supervisors and Joint Health and Safety Committees, we can all minimize employee injuries in the home or community setting. Please note that not all these solutions will work in your specific environment. By conducting a risk assessment and holding discussions with your supervisor and Joint Health and Safety Committee you can develop individual solutions to support people at home or in the community. Let's define some of the terms used in this video. 2 Participatory MSD Prevention Program – this is a program where key stakeholders come together to review what the risk factors are and come up with suitable solutions for that risk. Often times you'll find that a supervisor will be involved, the joint health and safety committee workers and supervisors in order to develop those safe practices. Biomechanics is the practice of using one's body in a comfortable and safe posture. Activities of Daily Living, or ADL's if you're in the business are those activities where we're assisting those that need help to do their daily regime – going to the grocery store, doing their laundry, helping with hygiene, recreational activities that they want to participate in – we're there to assist.

  • Musculoskeletal Disorders
    MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS Musculoskeletal disorders are extremely common, affecting all age groups. They consist of a variety of different diseases and conditions that cause pain or discomfort in the bones, joints, muscles, or tendons, and they can be acute or chronic. Approximately 33 percent of U.S. adults are affected by musculoskeletal conditions or symptoms, including limitation of motion or pain in a joint or extremity. The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders generally increases with age, with the majority of people over age 75 having some form of musculoskeletal disorder, especially arthritis. Musculoskeletal pain affects the muscles, ligaments and tendons, and bones, as a result of a variety of possible causes. Muscle tissue can be damaged with the wear and tear of daily activities. Trauma to an area (jerking movements, auto accidents, falls, fractures, sprains, dislocations, and direct blows to the muscle) also can cause musculoskeletal problems. Other causes include postural strain, repetitive movements, overuse, and prolonged immobilization. Changes in posture or poor body mechanics may bring about spinal alignment problems and muscle shortening, therefore causing other muscles to be misused and become painful. Besides arthritis, some of the most common types of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, sprains, strains, fibromyalgia and tendonitis. HOW ARE MSDs DIAGNOSED AND TREATED? If you think you have musculoskeletal difficulties, you should ask your doctor to conduct a thorough physical examination and medical history, along with diagnostic studies to determine the nature of the condition. Different types of manual therapy, or mobilization, can be used to treat people with spinal alignment problems. For some acute musculoskeletal pain, surgery is sometimes DID YOU KNOW? prescribed, while medications can also be used to treat inflammation or pain.

In these diseases there is great diversity of events that occur at sites outside of the axial skeleton and peripheral joints. Extra-articular manifestations of spondyloarthritis include uveitis, skin lesions such as psoriasis, involvement of gastrointestinal tract characterized by inflammatory colitis and also other less common manifestations. The use of anti-TNF biological agents provides clinical improvement in most of these clinical findings. On the other hand there is a lack of evidence on the effects of these drugs on cardiac and pulmonary involvement in spondyloarthritis. Keywords: Ankylosing spondylitis; Inflammatory bowel diseases; 30% to 40% of patients and histologic examination reveals microscopic Psoriasis, Uveitis; Extra-articular manifestations inflammation in up to 60% of patients with SpA. The link between IBD and SpA is also evident when we observe that patients with IBD often Introduction have peripheral arthritis or sacroiliitis [5,6]. In a study that included Spondyloarthritis (SpA), a group of disorders that includes 103 patients with IBD, with no previous diagnosis of SpA, 30% had Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), psoriasis arthritis (SpA related to cutaneous inflammatory back pain and 18% had asymptomatic sacroiliitis [5].

It has a high incidence in the Middle East, Gulf States, and countries of Mediterranean basin. Herein, we present four cases of PPD from Turkey (two siblings pair from the same kindred who are far paternal cousins) showing different disease courses. The progression of disease was particularly aggressive in the male sibling who suffered from severe scoliosis with more crippling joint disease. These four cases of PPD support the clinical heterogeneity and variable expressivity of PPD. In this article, we draw attention to the effects of patient education and early rehabilitation which helped to slow progression of range of motion loss. Keywords: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis; progressive arthropathy; progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia. Progressive pseudorheumotoid dysplasia (PPD, mutations may lead to atypical presentations, such as MIM 208230) is a rare, autosomal recessively inherited, different disease progression rates and severity.
