Help Shape Inclusive Musculoskeletal (MSK) Research: Volunteer Resource Curator Wanted
Bring data scientists and interdisciplinary musculoskeletal experts together to tackle health inequity for the benefit of the wider community. As people live longer, musculoskeletal (MSK) disease and injury are rising . Age-related bone degeneration reduces independence through increased falls and fractures, and MSK conditions often intersect with other long-term conditions. The scale is sobering: hip fractures are projected to reach 6.3 million by 2050 , and diabetic lower-l
