The human musculoskeletal system (also known as the locomotor system, and previously the activity system is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move using their muscular and skeletal systems. The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body. Outcome measures and scoring systems are an important part of musculoskeletal research and can play an important role in the development of new treatments. The mission of the Musculoskeletal Outcomes and Patient Oriented Research is to rigorously investigate the delivery of care to patients with orthopedic nursing  and rheumatologic conditions, with the goal of continually improving their outcomes, this patient care should be undertaken by the orthopedic nurse and orthopedic nurse practioner for improving health of the patient.

This track discuss about the various aspect of Musculoskeletal Outcomes, its Theory and Practices such as Comparative effectiveness research using randomized trials and observational data, Individualized prediction of outcomes, Outcomes-based quality improvement activities, Cost-effectiveness of various procedures, Data operations in outcomes studies (data collection, warehousing, analysis), Sharing experience of failed studies and what to do to succeed, Chiropractic procedures, outcomes and challenges.

The elderly population in the United States is expected to double by 2050, reaching 80 million. Hip fractures are estimated at 350,000 to 400,000 annually in the United States. Around three-quarters of these patients are women and 90 percent of the injuries are caused by falls. That’s the reason the demand for orthopedic medical supplies  have been increased in the recent years.
