the release of acetylcholineThe more fibers that contract,
the stronger the muscle contraction

Changes in Older AdultChanges in Older AdultMusculoskeletal changes can be
due to:◦Aging process◦Decreased activity◦Lifestyle factors

Changes in Older AdultChanges in Older AdultLoss of bone mass in older
womenJoint and disk cartilage
dehydrates causing loss of flexibility contributes to degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis); joints stiffen, lose range of motion

Prevention of pressure buildup of blood or fluid accumulation

Special Assessment ConsiderationsSpecial Assessment Considerations
For fractures of the shoulder and upper arm, assess client in sitting or standing position.
Support the affected arm to promote comfort.
For distal areas of the arm, assess client in a supine position.
For fracture of lower extremities and pelvis, client is in supine position.

Phantom Limb PainPhantom Limb Pain
Phantom limb pain is a frequent complication of amputation.
Client complains of pain at the site of the removed body part, most often shortly after surgery.
Pain is intense burning feeling, crushing sensation or cramping.
Some clients feel that the removed body part is in a distorted position.

A disease in which loss of bone exceeds rate of bone formation; usually increase in older women, white race, nulliparity.
Clinical Manifestations – bone pain, decrease movement.
Treatment – Calcium, Vit. D, estrogen replacement, Calcitonin, fluoride, estrogen with progestin, SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator) with anti-estrogens, exercise.

Classification of Classification of OsteoporosisOsteoporosis
Generalized osteoporosis occurs most commonly in postmenopausal women and men in their 60s and 70s.
Secondary osteoporosis results from an associated medical condition such as hyperparathyroidism, long-term drug therapy, long-term immobility.
Regional osteoporosis occurs when a limb is immobilized.

OsteomalaciaOsteomalacia
Softening of the bone tissue characterized by inadequate mineralization of osteoid
Vitamin D deficiency, lack of sunlight exposure
Similar, but not the same as osteoporosis
Major treatment: vitamin D from exposure to sun and certain foods

Paget’s Disease of the BonePaget’s Disease of the Bone
Metabolic disorder of bone remodeling, or turnover; increased resorption (the process by which osteoclasts break down bone and release the minerals, resulting
in a transfer of calcium from bone fluid to the blood) of loss results in bone deposits that are weak, enlarged, and disorganized
Nonsurgical management: calcitonin, selected bisphosphonates, mithramycin
Surgical management: tibial osteotomy or partial or total joint replacement

Paget’s DiseasePaget’s Disease
An imbalance of increase osteoblast and osteoclast cells; thickening and hypertrophy.
Bone pain most common symptom; bony enlargement and deformities usually bilateral, kyphosis, long bone.
