Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders constitute such a large component of impairments of individuals in the working and geriatric population that good statistical data on them are essential for planning health care. We have collected the pertinent data, with references to recent source material, to determine the incidence, effect on the quality of life, and associated costs of these disorders in the United States.
