Health Issue Related to the Human Musculoskeletal System
14.4
Health Issue Related to the Human Musculoskeletal System
Health issues related to the human skeletal muscle system:
Osteoporosis
Explanation
Is caused by a deficiency in the uptake of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D or women experienced menopause
Less calcium is used to form bones
Bones become weak and easy to fracture especially at the pelvic girdle, wrist and backbone.
Advice & treatment
Consumption of sufficient calcium, phosphate and vitamin D through daily diet to increase bone mass
Exercise regularly to strengthen the muscles and bones
Go through hormone replacement therapy for women experiencing menopause
Osteomalacia
Explanation
Is caused by the deficiency in the uptake of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D
Occur in adults, especially pregnant women
Osteomalacia that occurs in children known as rickets
In children, bone defects may occur
Advice & treatment
Consumption of sufficient calcium and phosphate through daily diet to increase bone mass
Consumption of sufficient vitamin D through daily
Exercise regularly to strengthen the muscles and bones
Arthritis
Explanation
Cartilages in the joints of the knee, pelvic girdle and backbone become wear off
Less synovial fluid secreted
Usually occurs in senior citizens
The joints experience inflammation, pain, swollen and hard
Advice & treatment
Exercise regularly to strengthen the muscles and joints
Go through physiotherapy to strengthen the joints
Undergo surgery operation to replace with artificial joint
Scoliosis
Explanation
The backbone of an individual is sideways curvature from the spine axis
Can be caused by genetic factor, tumour, a bacterial infection. osteoporosis, rickets or injury
Advice & treatment
Comprises three "O": observation, orthosis and operation
