Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System
you will be assigned one or more topics from the list below.
For your assigned topic(s), you are to discuss the incidence and prevalence of the disorder, pathophysiology from an advanced practice perspective, physical assessment and examination, evidence-based treatment plan and patient education, as well as follow up and evaluation to assess the efficacy and outcomes of the evidence-based treatment plan for management of an episodic, acute, and chronic case involving the pathology(s) you are sharing. You will share your information on the topic(s) you are assigned in the Unit 8 Discussion as your discussion entry.

Answer previewBursitis comes from the presence of an irritation caused by an injury on a tissue in the bursa, the fluid-filled pads, which results in inflammation. The disorder is experienced after an extended period of repetitive movement of injured joints. The repetitive movement with an injury on the bursae that act as lubricants for natural movement thus led to the development of the problem. The tendons and muscles close to the bursa get overused causing the disorder to arise. Some symptoms of the disease include swelling, pain, and stiffness in the affected areas (Burke, 2016). Also, during movement, the patients might experience pain or stiffness and weakness occasionally. Assessment of the disorder is performed physically. During the examination, a patient records tenderness where the bursa has an inflammation…(3400 words)
