Muscular & Skeletal
The Muscular & Skeletal section offers a deep dive into various aspects of the human muscular and skeletal system. It addresses specific challenges and advancements, such as coping with ‘Winter of Pain’ for spinal cord injury sufferers, maintaining joint health through different life stages, and developing wearable diagnostics for neuromuscular diseases. The section also explores social aspects like the exclusion felt by people in pain, and highlights innovative solutions like biobank for genetic muscle diseases and bionic limb technology. Additionally, it provides practical guidance on issues like ACL injuries, osteoarthritis treatments, and adapting to working from home without physical discomfort.
