Ankle contracture- MedGen UID:
- 575402
- •Concept ID:
- C0343148
- •
- Acquired Abnormality
Knee contracture- MedGen UID:
- 332406
- •Concept ID:
- C1837263
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
Lack of full passive range of motion (restrictions in flexion, extension, or other movements) of the knee joint resulting from structural changes of non-bony tissues, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules and/or skin.
Proximal muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 113169
- •Concept ID:
- C0221629
- •
- Finding
A lack of strength of the proximal muscles.
Distal muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 140883
- •Concept ID:
- C0427065
- •
- Finding
Reduced strength of the musculature of the distal extremities.
Elbow contracture- MedGen UID:
- 331445
- •Concept ID:
- C1833142
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
A limitation in the passive range of motion of the elbow resulting from loss of elasticity in the periarticular tissues owing to structural changes of non-bony tissues, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules or skin.
Muscle fiber splitting- MedGen UID:
- 322813
- •Concept ID:
- C1836057
- •
- Finding
Fiber splitting or branching is a common finding in human and rat skeletal muscle pathology. Fiber splitting refers to longitudinal halving of the complete fiber, while branching originates from a regenerating end of a necrotic fiber as invaginations of the sarcolemma. In fiber branching, one end of the fiber remains intact as a single entity, while the other end has several branches.
Centrally nucleated skeletal muscle fibers- MedGen UID:
- 330782
- •Concept ID:
- C1842170
- •
- Finding
An abnormality in which the nuclei of sarcomeres take on an abnormally central localization (or in which this feature is found in an increased proportion of muscle cells).
Muscle fiber necrosis- MedGen UID:
- 376893
- •Concept ID:
- C1850848
- •
- Pathologic Function
Abnormal cell death involving muscle fibers usually associated with break in, or absence of, muscle surface fiber membrane and resulting in irreversible damage to muscle fibers.
Spinal rigidity- MedGen UID:
- 346721
- •Concept ID:
- C1858025
- •
- Finding
Reduced ability to move the vertebral column with a resulting limitation of neck and trunk flexion.
Interphalangeal joint contracture of finger- MedGen UID:
- 867413
- •Concept ID:
- C4021784
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
Chronic loss of joint motion in an interphalangeal joint of a finger due to structural changes in non-bony tissue.
Increased endomysial connective tissue- MedGen UID:
- 867771
- •Concept ID:
- C4022161
- •
- Finding
An increased volume of the endomysium, which is a connective tissue sheath that surrounds each muscule fiber. Together, bundles of muscle fibers form a fasciculus, surrounded by another layer of connective tissue called the perimysium.
Abnormality of skeletal muscle fiber size- MedGen UID:
- 868650
- •Concept ID:
- C4023051
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
Any abnormality of the size of the skeletal muscle cell.
Elevated circulating creatine kinase concentration- MedGen UID:
- 69128
- •Concept ID:
- C0241005
- •
- Finding
An elevation of the level of the enzyme creatine kinase (also known as creatine phosphokinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) in the blood. CK levels can be elevated in a number of clinical disorders such as myocardial infarction, rhabdomyolysis, and muscular dystrophy.
