When a person is relatively young bone is built up faster than it is reabsorbed. (Darbà, Kaskens, Pérez-Álvarez, Palacios, Neyro, & Rejas, (2015). As the body ages this process is reversed and bone is lost faster than it can be re-built. This leads to brittle and easily broken bones especially in the hips and spine which can lead to disabilities and even death. Osteoporosis is most prevalent in white elderly females with slight body frames.
The symptoms usually began during childhood. The child would start to have very deformed toes and fingers. Possibly a missing joint or simply presenting with a notable lump at the major joint. The first Flare-up that leads to the formation of FOP bones usually starts around age 10. The bone growth progresses from the top downward, just as bones grow in fetuses.
There are a number of reasons for this. Low nutritional stores | | Newborn infants, particularly those born before term, have poor stores of fat and protein (Fig. 12.1). The smaller the child, the less the calorie reserve and the shorter the period the child will be able to withstand starvation (Fig. 12.2).
With Becker disease people often experience temporary attacks of muscle weakness, normally in the arms and hands, this is normally brought on by movement after periods of rest. They may also develop mild, permanent muscle weaken over a period of time. This is not shown in people with Thomsen disease. Although myotonia can affect any skeletal muscles, including muscles of the face and tongue, it occurs most often in the legs. Myotonia causes muscle stiffness that can interfere with movement.
By using surveys, we will be able to obtain information which cannot be observed directly, which will not translate into a conclusion. Additionally, observations will not be an adequate source of information as it could be misinterpreted based on the perspective of the observer. Biological and Psychological Depression Depression is a commonly recognized as a mental disorder. Reasons for biological depression vary greatly, which allows for a widespread approach to conducting research to uncover the true cause. This research has greatly benefited our understanding of brain functions.

Although one cannot predict a life expectancy, some factors are strong indicators of future issues, and some factors are inevitable with time. An example of an indicative aspect relates to bone loss in bone tissue, this can create osteoporosis. Osteoporosis causes difficulty walking and increases the chances of bone fractures (Berk, 2010). Many factors of aging are very common, and some inevitable, among elderly. Many people in late-adulthood experience weight loss because of loss of lean body mass, rather than fat reduction in the torso.
It has been named the most complex birth defect compatible with survival. Research has been done but, there is urgency for more research as well as awareness because the findings and conclusions can aid in the help of other chronic disorders sharing one or more of the same features. There are several different estimates of instances of spina bifida in many parts of the world. This is doing to a lack
People with a disability are seen and said to be a personal problem to the family. This model is where dehumanization comes into play the most. The medical model is where the worse points of disabilities is bought out and shown as the important points of a situation. It also talks about how the disability can be fixed surgically or medically to help the person fit into the society better. With the medical model society doesn’t show any concern in trying to change things to help the person with disabilities.
Robyn believes that medication can be helpful, but she does give valid points about how it is over used. There is no one true norm for a human mind. By changing how the brain acts just to mask the troubled area, doesn’t help to find the root of the problem. Sarah says in her paper that pain (a problem) in our life is a response to our life. When experiencing “pain”, one reassesses and rebuilds, or takes a pill to cover it up.
