Musculoskeletal Integrative Physiology and Disease – MSOS (82)
The Musculoskeletal Integrative Physiology and Disease [MSOS (82)] study section reviews grant applications involving the integrative physiology of the musculoskeletal system on mobility in health and disease conditions, including both animal models and human studies.
Review Dates
A roster for the panel will be posted here, at least 30 days prior to the review meeting
Topics
- Integrative functions: effects of exercise on the functional capacity of the musculoskeletal system and on pathology due to inherited disease, aging, and inactivity.
- Motor control in integrated limb function including studies of individuals with impaired or altered function.
- Effects of exercise and inactivity, maturation, nutrition, and the aging process on musculoskeletal function, protein turnover, and metabolism.
- Physiological interactions between the musculoskeletal system and other organ systems in normal and disease states.
- Effects of chronic disease on the musculoskeletal system including cachexia, sarcopenia and osteoporosis.
- Physiology and pathophysiology of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders related to integrated behavior of the whole body and the influence of the external environment including degenerative joint diseases (e.g. osteoarthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, post-traumatic osteoarthritis), trauma, aging, sport-related and repetitive motion disorders.
