Locomotive syndrome and Frailty. Musculoskeletal ambulation disorder symptom complex and locomotive syndrome.
Summary of "Locomotive syndrome and Frailty. Musculoskeletal ambulation disorder symptom complex and locomotive syndrome."
Musculoskeletal ambulation disorder symptom complex is the new concept of musculoskeletal disorders with disability in walking and balance, which lead to the high risk of fall and lower activity in elderly. Locomotive syndrome is another concept to aware of healthy locomotive organ for early prevention of orthopedic disease.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Costello Syndrome
Rare congenital disorder with multiple anomalies including: characteristic dysmorphic craniofacial features, musculoskeletal abnormalities, neurocognitive delay, and high prevalence of cancer. Germline mutations in H-Ras protein can cause Costello syndrome. Costello syndrome shows early phenotypic overlap with other disorders that involve MAP KINASE SIGNALING SYSTEM (e.g., NOONAN SYNDROME and cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome).
Early Ambulation
Procedure to accelerate the ability of a patient to walk or move about by reducing the time to AMBULATION. It is characterized by a shorter period of hospitalization or recumbency than is normally practiced.
Smith-magenis Syndrome
Complex neurobehavioral disorder characterized by distinctive facial features (FACIES), developmental delay and mental retardation. Behavioral phenotypes include sleep disturbance, maladaptive, self-injurious and attention-seeking behaviors. The sleep disturbance is linked to an abnormal circadian secretion pattern of MELATONIN. The syndrome is associated with de novo deletion or mutation and HAPLOINSUFFICIENCY of the retinoic acid-induced 1 protein on chromosome 17p11.2.
Musculoskeletal Physiological Phenomena
Processes and properties of the MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM.
Musculoskeletal Physiological Processes
