Musculoskeletal Structures in Injuries, Recovery and Applicable Treatments: A Literature Review

Abstract

This article sought to provide a comprehensive and integrated view of the process of musculoskeletal injury and its rehabilitation, highlighting the importance of understanding the different tissues involved, biomechanical aspects and the appropriate choice of therapeutic resources to promote effective and functional recovery of patients. An extensive bibliographic survey was carried out, in which studies whose objectives and content were aligned with the aims of this research were carefully selected. The methodology employed consisted of a wide-ranging review of the specialised literature on the subject in question using the databases of the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, PublicMedline, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System on Line, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Google Scholar and books. The review provided up-to-date information on the musculoskeletal structures involved in injuries, recovery strategies and available treatments. It highlighted the importance of a multidisciplinary and personalised approach to effective patient recovery, taking into account the particularities of each injury and the need for an individualised rehabilitation plan. It is hoped that this review will contribute to expanding knowledge in this area and help to improve the care provided.
