Abstract

In musculoskeletal problems, we come across more than 150 diagnoses affecting the locomotor system; muscles, bones, joints, and associated tissues such as tendons and ligaments, as listed in the International Classification of Diseases. These range from those arising suddenly but are short-lived, namely, fractures, sprains, and strains; to the lifelong conditions associated with ongoing pain and disability. The conditions in such disorders are typically characterized by pain (often persistent) and limitations in mobility, dexterity, and functional ability, reducing our ability to work and participate in social activities with associated impacts on mental wellbeing, and at a broader level impacts on the prosperity of communities. The most common and disabling conditions here are osteoarthritis, back and neck pain, fractures associated with bone fragility, injuries, and systemic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (Bruyère et al. 2019).
