Disorders of the locomotive apparatus encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. It comprises muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons, working together to support the body and facilitate movement.
Muscles, bones, and joints are essential for mobility and structural support in the human body.
Muscles comprising contractile fibers facilitate movement by contracting and relaxing in response to nerve signals.
Bones, forming the skeletal framework, provide structural support, protect internal organs, and serve as sites for blood cell production.
Joints, where bones articulate, enable smooth movement and flexibility through the action of ligaments, tendons, and cartilage.
Medical conditions affecting muscles, bones, and joints can range from acute injuries like fractures, sprains, and strains to chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis.
These conditions can vary in severity and impact, ranging from localized pain and stiffness to significant impairment of movement and function.
The frequent degenerative complaints are accompanied by inflammation and other symptoms of overload such as wear and tear on cartilage or arthritic changes, so that the demands of everyday life often become agony. Things become arduous and heartbreaking, and the vicious cycle of the lack of everyday movement and limited mobility through poor posture to get some relief begins.
Some of the most common conditions include:
1.Back problems: Joint Pain, Neck, Shoulder, Hip Pain, Arthritis, Rheumatism, Osteoporosis, Degenerative Diseases, Postoperative Rehabilitation Including vertebrogenic syndrome (Back pain) :
Back pain can arise from various causes such as muscle strain, herniated discs, spinal misalignment, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. It can significantly impact daily life and mobility.
These conditions can result in localized or radiating pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
2.Rheumatoid Arthritis, Reactive and Derivative Arthritis
3.Extra-articular Rheumatism
4.Spondylitis Ankylosans (Bechterew’s Disease): These conditions involve inflammation of the joints, ligaments, and surrounding tissues, leading to pain, stiffness, and joint deformity.
5.Degenerative Diseases of Joints: Including gonarthrosis (knee osteoarthritis), coxarthrosis (hip osteoarthritis), and arthrosis of small joints of the hands and spine. These conditions involve the progressive breakdown of cartilage in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
6.Conditions After Injuries or Operations: Such as joint replacement surgeries, spinal surgeries, and procedures for intervertebral disc issues. Individuals may experience residual pain, stiffness, and functional limitations following such interventions.
7.Scoliosis
