Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The musculoskeletal system includes muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bones, and joints. Problems of the musculoskeletal system can lead to pain, stiffness, weakness, and impaired movement and function. Therefore, various evaluation/treatment methods and orthoses for maintaining the health of the musculoskeletal system are essential. In addition, since the nervous system controls voluntary muscle movement, ensuring its proper function is crucial.
This Special Issue of Healthcare focuses on the relationship between the musculoskeletal system and healthcare. It includes the results of scientific studies on various assessments; treatment methods (including alternative medicine); evaluation of various disorders of muscles, tendons, fascia, nerves, ligaments, bones, and joints; and orthoses for protecting the musculoskeletal system.
