Synopsis

A condition that affects the human skeletal system, making bones weaker and vulnerable to fractures is termed as a bone disease. There are several types of bone diseases including osteoporosis, metabolic bone diseases, fracture, stress fracture, bone cancer and scoliosis. Osteoporosis is one of most common bone conditions that cause a loss of bone due to weakened bones. Metabolic bone diseases lead to abnormal bone mass or structure caused by deficiency of a mineral or vitamin. Scoliosis is an abnormal condition in which there is side to side curvature of the spine that results in S- or C-shaped curvature when seen from behind. A number of factors such as age, occupation, environmental factors and genetics play a significant role in bone diseases. The risk of osteoporosis increases in people having low sun exposure and deficiency of vitamin D. The symptoms of these diseases include joint stiffness (arthritis), decreased range of motion, fatigue, and whole body symptoms (rheumatoid arthritis), etc. Physical activity can prove beneficial in the treatment and management of bone diseases. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to bone diseases have been included in this book. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.
