Global Developments in Musculoskeletal Health Research and Practice

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce this Special Issue on “Global Developments in Musculoskeletal Health Research and Practice”, inviting original research articles and reviews focusing on current developments and research in musculoskeletal health and management. We aim to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners from around the globe to showcase current developments within the field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, clinical advancements, innovative therapeutic approaches, culturally sensitive research and practice, and epidemiological studies related to MSK disorders. We encourage submissions that address the unique challenges faced in different contexts, promote equitable healthcare practices, and contribute to a holistic understanding of MSK health. Recognizing that meaningful and impactful high-quality research needs to include diverse voices from a variety of contexts—topically, geographically, and disciplinary—this Special Issue aims to create an equitable and inclusive space for all contributors. By showcasing diverse perspectives and cutting-edge research, this Special Issue seeks to enhance global collaboration and inform effective MSK management strategies.
