Do Now: Friday, Oct. 23
• Objective: Muscular System Diseases
• Do Now: Think of as many diseases of the
muscular system that you can and write
anything that you know about each.
– You need at least THREE!
Shin Splints
• Description: Pain in the shin (tibia)-usually
during exercise.
• Causes: Calf muscles stretched, causing shin
muscles to be over-used to compensate.
Shin Splints
Shin Splints Treatment
• Anti-inflammatory, ice, reduced exercise for a
few weeks (rest)
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Description: Fatigue (> 6 mos) with
headaches, sore throat, muscle/joint pain.
– Sleep and rest DON’T HELP
• Causes: Unknown - genetic, stress related, an
infection, or an autoimmune disorder.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrom
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Treatment
• Pacing (setting daily schedules for activities,
exercise and other uses of energy)
Muscular Dystrophy
• Description: Muscles very weak, break down,
replaced with fat deposits.
– On-set any age, FAST or SLOW progression.
• Causes: Genetic - varies based on underlying
cause.
• Atrophy means muscle lost
Muscular Dystrophy
Muscular Dystrophy
Muscular Dystrophy Treatment
• Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy to
work the muscles so that they will continue to
function.
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
• Description: Repeatedly occurring numbness,
tingling, burning or pain in fingers.
• Causes: Tendon/muscle inflammation puts
pressure on nerves into the hand (median
nerve).
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Carpel Tunnel Syndrom
Carpel Tunnel Syndrom
Carpel Tunnel Treatment
• Stretching, brace, surgery, anti-inflammatory
Myasthenia Gravis
• Description: Muscle fatigue that gets better
with rest but worse with activity.
– Eyelids, facial expressions, talking, swallowing,
limbs.
• Causes: Autoimmune disorder where body
attacks muscles.
Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia Gravis Treatment
• Thymus gland surgery
Tendinitis
• Description: Pain, stiffness, burning around a
joint. Worse with exercise & stress.
• Causes: Tendon inflamed due to stretching or
fatigue.
• What do tendons connect?

Tendinitis Treatment
• Anti-inflammatory drug, physical therapy, RICE
with gradual return to exercise
• RICE means Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate
Pyomyositis
• Description: Fever, muscle pain, pus-filled
abscesses in the muscles, fatigue

• The abscess within the muscles must be
drained surgically and then treated with
antibiotics.
• What other infection does this remind you of?
Fibromyalgia
• Description: Chronic, widespread fatigue; pin
on touch; sleep disturbance; muscle twitching.
– At least 3 mos, fail “pressure points test”
• Causes: Unknown but genetic.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia Treatment
• Exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, drugs
Do Now: Friday, Oct. 23
• Objective: Patient Rounds
• Do Now:
1. Name one difference between fibromyalgia and
chronic fatigue disorder.
2. Why do people get shin splints and what is the
treatment?
• Reminder: Quiz on Monday on Skeletal System
Diseases and Treatment.
– Multiple choice questions (10)
– Patient Rounds (5)
Worksheet Corrections
• Diagnosis and Treatment Worksheet
– Review Answers
Patient Rounds
• With a partner, fill out the chart below by first
diagnosing the disease, explaining at least two
reasons how you came to that conclusion
(must be out of the notes), and by explaining
at least two treatments that you would
recommend.
Practice
• On the back of your sheet, create TWO of your
own descriptions to diagnose in complete
sentences.
– Circle at least two key words in the description.
– Diagnose the disease.
– Provide the treatment.
