Musculoskeletal complaints that are classified as acute have been ongoing for? -
ANSWER: Less than 6 weeks
Musculoskeletal complaints that are classified as chronic have been ongoing for? -
ANSWER: Greater than 6 weeks
Musculoskeletal differential diagnoses - ANSWER: Trauma, infection, metabolic or
circulatory disorders, tumors, synovial conditions, congenital or developmental
problems or degenerative disorders.
Articular structures include: - ANSWER: synovium, synovial fluid, articular cartilage,
intra-articular ligaments, joint capsules, juxta-articular bone.
Characteristics of disorders of articular structures: - ANSWER: - Deep or diffuse pain
- Limited ROM w/active AND passive ROM

- instability
- "locking"
- deformity
Non-articular structures include: - ANSWER: - supportive extra-articular ligaments
- tendons
- bursa
- muscle
- fascia
- bone
- nerve
- overlying skin
Characteristics of non-articular structures: - ANSWER: - painful active but NOT
passive ROM

Characteristics of noninflammatory disorders: - ANSWER: - pain w/o
swelling/warmth
- absence of inflammatory or systemic features
