What are musculoskeletal conditions?
Musculoskeletal conditions or injuries can develop gradually or after a specific event, such as a fall, trauma, physical strain or fracture. They may also be linked to poor posture, repetitive movements, ageing, a sedentary lifestyle, joint wear or physical overload.
The most common situations include:
- Low back pain and back pain
- Neck pain
- Tendinitis
- Muscle injuries
- Joint injuries
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Pain in the shoulders, knees, hips or wrists
- Situations following trauma
- Recovery after fractures
- Temporary or permanent functional limitations
Many of these conditions show up through symptoms such as pain, fatigue, a feeling of heaviness, tingling, loss of strength, stiffness, physical discomfort or altered sensation, and can interfere with simple tasks like walking, lifting objects, getting dressed, working, climbing stairs or personal care.
