Musculoskeletal diseases can either affect only one joint locally, as in osteoarthritis, or they can be systemic, as in rheumatoid arthritis. In both conditions, mobility problems occur over time.

Nurses play a key role in diagnosis, patient and family education, treatment coordination, home environment planning and follow-up care. © 2023 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
