[2] [8] Continuous exercise or movement of a musculoskeletal injury can result in chronic inflammation with progression to permanent damage or disability. [9] In many cases, during the healing period after a musculoskeletal injury, a period in which the healing area will be completely immobile, a cast-induced muscle atrophy can occur.
MSD risk factors involve doing tasks with heavy force, repetition, or maintaining a nonneutral posture. [8] Of particular concern is the combination of heavy load with repetition. [8] Although poor posture is often blamed for lower back pain, a systematic review of the literature failed to find a consistent connection. [9]
Amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome (AMPS) is an illness characterized by notable pain intensity without an identifiable physical cause.

Pain is felt most commonly on the lateral aspect of the knee and is most intensive at 30 degrees of knee flexion. [2] Risk factors in women include increased hip adduction and knee internal rotation. [2] [3] Risk factors seen in men are increased hip internal rotation and knee adduction. [2]
The risk of injury is often magnified when multiple factors are present. Environmental, operational, or design factors can all negatively impact a worker or user; examples include whole-body or hand/arm vibration, poor lighting, or poorly designed tools, equipment, or workstations. Some of the common body regions where injuries may occur include:
Orthopaedic disorders may be congenital and there may be hereditary and environmental factors that can affect the normal functioning of the bones, joints, or muscles. [2] Other causes of bone diseases include severe impacts/injuries and weakness in bones/bone loss. The effects of bone disorders will vary with disease.
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS Type 1 and Type 2), sometimes referred to by the hyponyms Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) or Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy (RND), is a rare and severe form of neuroinflammatory and dysautonomic disorder causing chronic pain, neurovascular, and neuropathic symptoms.
