Orthopedic Impairments
Richter, Edwin F 33; DePorto, Robert
Medical aspects of disability : a handbook for the rehabilitation professional New York, NY, US: Springer Publishing Co, 2005,
(from the chapter) Orthopedic impairments are almost inevitable developments for most individuals. Routine activities of daily living stress the musculoskeletal system. Degenerative changes accumulate in joints over time. Environmental and lifestyle factors may influence this process. In the geriatric population, osteoporotic weakening of bones becomes increasingly evident. These forces may affect even the healthiest members of the adult population. Acute traumatic events can suddenly create an orthopedic problem. Premorbid characteristics play major roles in shaping responses to such developments. Psychological factors influence response to the acute trauma, the medical treatment, and the rehabilitation process. Other medical illnesses may limit treatment options or interfere with recovery. Economic forces may act on patients, families, health care providers, employers, and other institutions. Social support systems are challenged when orthopedic impairments lead to disability.
