About the Organization:
The United States Bone and Joint Initiative (USBJI) is the U.S. National Action Network of the Global Bone and Joint Decade, a multi-disciplinary initiative targeting the care of people with musculoskeletal conditions— bone and joint disorders. Its focus is on improving your quality of life as well as advancing the understanding and treatment of those conditions through research, prevention and education. Bones, and the joints that create function and movement, are connected by muscle and ligaments. Their state of health and how they enable you to lead an active and healthy life is what the Initiative aims to improve.
About the Disease:
So what is a “musculoskeletal disease or disorder?”
It’s a wide range of conditions. To name just a few, we’re talking about arthritis, back pain, osteoporosis, broken bones, trauma (caused by sports injuries or automobile accidents for example), back pain and other spinal disorders, hip, knee and foot pain, cerebral palsy, and congenital problems like clubfoot.
