An understanding of the neurological and musculoskeletal systems is a critically important componentof disease and disorder diagnosis and treatment. This importance is magnified by the impact that thatthese two systems can have on each other. A variety of factors and circumstances affecting theemergence and severity of issues in one system can also have a role in the performance of the other.
Effective analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their mutualimpact. For example, patient characteristics such as, racial and ethnic variables can play a role.
