Study Notes
Assignment Description
- The assignment focuses on improving student study techniques
- Students create charts/templates on weeks 9-11 content
- Students connect massage considerations for each condition
- A usable study guide is developed to improve academic performance
- Sources from the internet and the textbook can be used
- Porth is the primary course material
- Rattray, Moore and Magee texts are also valuable
- Submission due Friday November 22nd by 11:59 PM
- Dropbox in Evaluations Module
- Assignment is worth 51 marks (10% of overall grade)
Assignment Questions
- Complete charts on bone pathology, developmental disorders, and metabolic diseases
- Bullet points are acceptable, but responses must be thorough
- Massage considerations are essential for each condition
- Referencing is required
Bone Pathology
- Pathology: Osteonecrosis
- Primary Etiology: Interruption of blood supply to bone marrow (ischemia) from trauma, fractures, thrombosis, embolisms, sickle cell disease or idiopathic, or corticosteroid administration
- Major Symptoms: Bone death, pain even at rest, limited range of motion (ROM)
- Massage Considerations: Often treated by massage after medical interventions like surgery. Avoid treating until cleared by doctors. Treat associated pathologies if the area is immobilized; consider surrounding structures.
Developmental Disorders
-
Pathology: Legg-Calve-Perthe
-
Primary Etiology: Unknown cause, possible acute trauma or malnutrition affecting the femoral head and avascular necrosis. primarily affects white males 3-12 years old. Overuse during development is a factor.
-
Major Symptoms: Pain in the thigh and knee, trouble walking, limited abduction, internal rotation. Disturbed growth patterns, creating a broad and short femoral neck
-
Massage Considerations: Massage can help with compensatory symptoms like posture and gait issues. Focus on decreasing tone in quads where needed.
-
Pathology: Osgood-Schlatter
-
Primary Etiology: Overuse during development, strain on the patellar tendon for athletic adolescents, Affects the epiphyseal center
-
Major Symptoms: Enlarged tibial tuberosity, pain in front of knee, pain during activity and swelling/thickening of the patellar tendon
-
Massage Considerations: Focus on decreasing tone in quads to address inflammation.
-
Pathology: Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
-
Primary Etiology: Hereditary, environmental, or mechanical factors. Breech delivery
-
Major Symptoms: Asymmetry of the hip and gluteal folds, limited abduction, shortening of the thigh
-
Massage Considerations: Early intervention is key. Focus on compensatory symptoms. Consider possible secondary conditions.
-
Pathology: Scoliosis
-
Primary Etiology: Congenital, hemi/wedge vertebra, uneven limb length, neuromuscular conditions, or diseases of nerves or muscles that affect females more commonly, affects thoracic area
-
Major Symptoms: Pain from secondary structure compressions, rib humping, uneven shoulders, one hip higher than the other
-
**Massage Considerations:**Address secondary structure compressions, help restore joint play, and be mindful of any underlying conditions
Metabolic Diseases
- Pathology: Osteopenia
- Primary Etiology: Can be due to other conditions (anorexia or other pathologies). It can occur with anorexia or high acidity in the blood.
- Major Symptoms: Decreased bone mass, bone deformation, inadequate remineralization, deossification
- Massage Considerations: Address underlying pathology. Physical therapy to improve bone mass and density (weight bearing exercises).
- Pathology: Osteoporosis
- Primary Etiology: Bone resorption and formation imbalance, resulting in bone loss. Often associated with aging, mineral deficiencies (calcium, vitamin D) and gastrointestinal issues
- Major Symptoms: Susceptibility to fractures, vertebral collapse, dowager's hump, deep bony pain
- Massage Considerations: Weight training to help with bone density, routine screening to identify risk, and address associated conditions like falls to minimize risks.
- Pathology: Osteomalacia
- Primary Etiology: Insufficient calcium or vitamin D, digestive issues, liver or kidney problems that disrupt absorption, steroid use, or chronic diseases like IBD, malabsorption, chronic diarrhea.
- Major Symptoms: Bone pain, muscle weakness, fractures with poor healing, hyperparathyroidism
- Massage Considerations: Address underlying pathologies, focus on pain reduction, be mindful of potential underlying chronic problems.
- Pathology: Rickets
- Primary Etiology: Deficiency of calcium and vitamin D, lack of proper nutrition during childhood, impacting bone health.
- Major Symptoms: Less long bone growth, hypertrophy of the epiphyseal cartilage, delayed or diminished ossification, enlarged soft skull, lumbar lordosis
- Massage Considerations: Address underlying issues around deficiency to address underlying issues directly.

Description
This assignment aims to enhance student study techniques through the creation of charts and templates focusing on bone pathology, developmental disorders, and metabolic diseases. Students will develop a usable study guide that incorporates massage considerations for each condition, utilizing Porth's primary material along with valuable texts from Rattray, Moore, and Magee.
