Musculoskeletal Integrity

Meaning

Musculoskeletal integrity refers to the robust, coordinated health and sustained functional resilience of the entire system comprising the bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. This state is defined by optimal bone mineral density, sufficient muscle mass and strength, and the structural soundness of all connective tissues, enabling efficient movement and protection against injury. Maintaining this integrity is crucial for mobility, independence, and overall quality of life, particularly as one navigates the aging process.
