Massage Therapy Study Techniques

Bone infection, direct contamination of open wound/fracture or spread from the bloodstream (hematogenous).

A sudden, fast-onset bone infection.

A long-term bone infection that leads to potential long-term bone deformity.

Fever, weakness, pain on movement, long-term deformity, neuro symptoms.

Wait until infection is gone; gentle, supportive movements, focus on recovery.

Bone infection caused by infections spreading through the bloodstream.

Developmental disorder characterized by pain in the thigh and knee, trouble walking, and limping.

Unknown cause, potentially related to acute trauma or malnutrition.

Massage can support recovery but avoid risk of fracture or dislocation.

Symptoms that appear as a result of another problem, like a physical abnormality in the hips or knees.

Death of bone tissue in the femoral head, often due to decreased blood supply.

A condition where the hip joint doesn't develop properly, potentially leading to hip instability.

Pain in the front of the knee, often in adolescents, due to stress on the patellar tendon.

Clicking sound detected during hip examination, indicating potential hip instability.

Movement of the thigh away from the body.

The growth plate in a bone, crucial for bone development.

Death of bone tissue due to lack of blood supply.

Medications used to help build body tissue and force vitamin D and calcium absorption.

Increased risk of femur neck erosion, especially in postmenopausal women with small frames, due to estrogen deficiency.

A condition caused by vitamin D deficiency or phosphate deficiency, leading to poor intestinal absorption.

Bone pain, tenderness, muscle weakness, and fractures; often a consequence of poor healing.

Massage therapy can help reduce pain and improve muscle weakness, focusing on strength and pain reduction. Safety measures must be taken against falls while on the table.

Osteomalacia caused by underlying medical conditions (pathologies), smoking, or corticosteroid use.

A condition where a baby's neck muscle is tight, causing the head to tilt to one side.

A condition caused by the baby's position in the womb.

Neck muscle pain possibly due to trauma during delivery, like forceps use.

Reduced bone mass, often connected to other health issues.

Osteopenia can be a symptom or part of another disease, not a disease itself.

A condition where bones become weak and more likely to break, due to an imbalance of bone formation and resorption.

Often asymptomatic until fracture; may include vertebral collapse (dowager's hump).

A structural disease primarily affecting adolescents, characterized by excessive kyphosis (hunchback).

Bow-legged condition; common in infants (0-18 months), sometimes persists into adulthood. Caused by physiological or developmental issues.

Knock-kneed condition; common in infants (around 3.5 years). Can also result from certain conditions and/or poor posture in adults.

A sideways curvature of the spine; can be congenital, neuromuscular (like cerebral palsy related), or structural.

Scoliosis present at birth, often due to developmental issues like uneven vertebrae.

Scoliosis linked to nerve or muscle disorders like cerebral palsy.

A type of scoliosis where the spine's curve isn't flexible and cannot be easily straightened.

Scoliosis that occurs spontaneously without identifiable cause.

A prominent rib hump on one side of the back, often a sign of scoliosis.

The initial cause of a disease or condition.

A condition where the parathyroid gland produces too much parathyroid hormone, leading to calcium being drawn from the bones and into the blood.

Diseases affecting the intestinal tract, hindering the absorption of essential nutrients from food.

Problems with the gallbladder, liver, and/or bile ducts affecting nutrient absorption.

A condition where the kidneys cannot activate vitamin D, causing a deficiency that leads to bone problems.

A condition of softening of bones, often due to vitamin D deficiency.

Osteomalacia occurring in childhood, hindering long bone growth.

A condition where bone is broken down and rebuilt rapidly and erratically, leading to weak and misshapen bones.

A lack of vitamin D, often due to insufficient sunlight exposure, which impacts bone health.

Problems with the growth plates in bones, which are essential for bone lengthening in development.
