Introduction: Long Term Musculoskeletal Conditions.[edit | edit source]

In 2015, a study on the Global Burden of Disease and the worldwide impact of all diseases and risk factors included back and neck pain, osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal disorders in the leading ten causes of adult global age-specific years lived with disability[1]. The report stated that Musculoskeletal disorders continue to be a leading cause of disability worldwide” . It advised that “A key component of healthy ageing is to maintain mobility, and a key public health intervention recommended for improving health outcomes for all chronic diseases is physical activity. Painful musculoskeletal disorders increase with age and are a great threat to mobility, compromising health more broadly.34, 35, 36 Even if cures for musculoskeletal disorders are not yet available, the clinical goal of preventing disability is attainable.37, 38

Musculoskeletal Health and Musculoskeletal Conditions[edit | edit source]

Musculoskeletal health means more than the absence of a musculoskeletal condition. Good musculoskeletal health means that the muscles, joints and bones work well together without pain. People with good musculoskeletal health can carry out the activities they want to with ease and without discomfort. It is possible to have poor musculoskeletal health without having a specific musculoskeletal condition.
