Musculoskeletal disorders in aging
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
Musculoskeletal disorders encompass a wide spectrum of conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and degenerative disc diseases. As individuals age, these disorders become increasingly prevalent and impactful on overall health and quality of life. The identification of novel diagnostic tools, effective therapeutic interventions, and preventive strategies to mitigate the burden of musculoskeletal disorders in older adults is a current area of active research. Studies explore the multifaceted aspects of these disorders, investigating their underlying mechanisms, risk factors, and implications for functional decline and mobility in the elderly. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on personalized approaches that consider individual variability in disease progression and response to treatments, related to genetics as well as environmental and living conditions.
This Collection will attract original research investigating the diagnosis, progression, risk factors, and treatment of age related musculoskeletal disorders.
