1 Understanding Cmmn Orthpedic Cnditins Amng the 40s By Jsephine K Principal Physitherapist & Mark Victr Rankine Fitness Cnsultant

2 Objectives 1. Gain understanding f the bilgical changes f the female human bdy at age abve Understand the implicatins f these bilgical changes n bdy pstures, jints, muscles, bnes, cartilage and discs health. 3. Understand hw these changes cntribute t the cmmn rthpedic cnditins. 4. Identify early signs f muscles, cartilage and jints degeneratin. 5. Appreciate hw bdy pstures and lack f physical activity hasten the degenerative prcess in the skin, jints, muscles, bnes and discs f the human bdy. 6. Strategies t preserve yur bdy.

3 Nticeable Physical Changes abve 40years ld Lss f skin elasticity appearance f wrinkles, dry and scaly skin Slw dwn f metablic rate, gradual weight gain, mre fat depsitin arund the abdminal area Lss f muscle tne saddle hips, flabby arms, spare tires arund the waist General weakness Jint pain and muscle ache

4 Subtle Changes f the Physical Bdy Hrmnal changes Menpause symptms irregular perid, shrter cycles Lss f muscle tne - incntinence Lss f bne mass steprsis Hair thinning Sft tissues changes lss f cllagen elasticity Stiffening f the bld vessels wall Increase chlesterl depsits in the bld vessels Stiffening f the muscles, including the heart Declining brain and memry functin Declining estrgen level may relate t deterirating cgnitive functin Gradual deteriratin in visin and hearing

5 Physilgical changes and the implicatins n bdy pstures, jints, muscles, bnes, cartilage and discs health Lss f muscle tne Less shck absrptin n impact and lading e.g. walking, stair climbing, running and jumping Easily sustain sprains and injuries especially the neck, back, shulders, elbws, wrists, hips and knees Lss f sft tissue elasticity Stiffening f the bld vessels wall Stiffening f the muscles ability t cntract and pump bld Pr circulatin Prne t muscle aches, knts in the muscles

6 Spinal Anatmy

7 . Discs act as weight absrber, the spnges between the spinal bnes, like suspensin in a car. It degenerates with TIME, with INACTIVITY and injury.

8 % f Weight Absrptin by Discs Neck 36% Back 80-85%

9 Mvement changes the pressure in the discs and jints, keeps them supple and healthy. Hwever, with stagnant psitins due t pr pstures and tight muscles, these can cause lng term unhealthy pressure n the jints and discs, which leads early degeneratin, causing pain and discmfrt.

10 Pstural Influences n Spinal Curvatures and Jints

11 Cmpare a tall, straight and even spine vs a crked spine, can yu imagine the pressure and stresses this has n the neighburing structures in the lng run? And yu ask, why d I have pain?

12 D yu ever wnder why we grw shrter as we age? Can this be cntrlled?

13 Relatinship Between Pr Muscle Tne and Pstures Firm abdminals and butt Chin pking frward, shulders runding frward, slack abdminals and butt

14 Muscles hld the Bdy Upright, keep ur bdy Lengthen maintain Balance in the ligaments and, keep the Jints healthy.

15 Early signs f muscles, cartilage and jints degeneratin Sense f stiffness arund the neck and back in the mrning, ges ff gradually nce yu started mving. Clicking jints e.g. shulders, elbws, wrists, fingers, hips, knees and ankles. Increasing frequency f muscle ache, till a pint yu need t apply medicated plaster, heat rub r seek medical treatment. Degeneratin is silent and gradual, but it hastens during the middle age and pst menpause.
