MPS Simétricos

English translation: proximal upper limb musculature, [symmetric]

Spanish term or phrase: MPS Simétricos
This is from a medical report. It talks about the function of the shoulders and the upper or lower extremities (what I'm trying to figure out). I translated MPS as "upper extremities." However, it might be lower extremities. I think MPS either stands for "miembros posteriores" or "miembros parte superior."

Here is the term in context: "con disminución de funcionalidad de extremidad izquierda torácica, MPS simétricos, AMP limitados para hombro izquierdo para flexo abducción, EMMA de MPS en 4/5, ROTS =/+"

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Explanation:
Ok, I think it definitely talks about the upper left limb (extremidad izquierda torácica). Now, the rest is but a guess. I'm sharing it as I see not many alternative options that make sense.

I'd say that they are assessing proximal upper limb active motion first, where there seems to be no severe limitation (just a slight strenght loss, 4/5), and then they assess passive range of motion.
That MPS (proximal upper limb musculature) might then be better translated as for its intended meaning (as active motion assessment of proximal upper limb musculature).

mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) affecting the body simmetrically


Explanation:
Hello. With only that context it was hard to make a search so I hope I am in the right track.
I found that MPS refers to a disease called "mucopolysaccharidosis" which affects the growth of different parts of the body simmetrically. In the context you provided, it seems like there is a list of problems in the thoracic region so I believe MPS is an affection or disease.
I included some links so you can read more and decide if my contribution has helped you.


"En el 2010 se publicó la última Clasificación de Displasias Esqueléticas elaborada por la Sociedad Internacional de Displasias Esqueléticas, en ellas se identificaron 456 entidades, que se agruparon en 40 categorías en función de sus características bioquímicas, moleculares y radiológicas, de los cuales 316 de estas enfermedades presentaron alteraciones en alguno de los 226 genes relacionados hasta la actualidad con los trastornos primarios del esqueleto4-7. Dentro de éstas, se encuentra la mucopolisacaridosis (MPS)."

Example sentence(s):
  • La mucopolisacaridosis tipo IV (MPS IV) es una enfermedad rara en la cual el cuerpo carece o no tiene suficiente cantidad de una enzima necesaria para descomponer cadenas largas de moléculas de azúcar.
  • La afección pertenece a un grupo de enfermedades llamado mucopolisacaridosis (MPS). La MPS IV también se conoce como síndrome de Morquio.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Joseph Tein: It's clear that it's a physical examination. And we're talking about movement of the shoulders and deep tendon reflexes (ROTS). And it makes no sense to talk about mucopolisacaridosis as a plural disease; either the patient has it or he doesn't.

  -> The context is very limited. Also, I quoted sentences directly, the gender of the disease is meaningless since he is translating into English. I proposed a translation into that language, everything else is a direct quotation.

neutral  Chema Nieto Castañón: Hola Ezequiel, lo que dice J. es que no tiene sentido en castellano "mucopolisacaridosis simétricos", ni que ese término aparezca en medio de una exploración física. Aunque en otros sí, en el contexto dado no cabe leer MPS como mucopolisacaridosis. Saludo
