Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Musculoskeletal disorders are the leading contributor to disability around the world. Although most of musculoskeletal conditions are commonly characterized by pain, there are more than 150 different conditions affecting joints (e.g., osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis), bones (e.g., osteoporosis and fractures), and muscles (e.g., myofascial pain syndromes and sarcopenia). Basic and clinical research studies currently aim to understand the pathogenesis peculiarities of each musculoskeletal condition to provide clinicians with evidence-based diagnosis and management recommendations.
This Special Issue centered around musculoskeletal disorders intends to collect high-quality articles on the pathogenesis of different musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., molecular mechanisms and the identification of risk factors associated with specific conditions) and novel effective multidisciplinary therapeutics to provide clinicians with novel and evidence-supported recommendations.
