The range of methodologies suitable for support is wide, ranging from epidemiology, biostatistics, economics, pharmacoepidemiology, biomechanics, policy modeling, behavioral research and much in between. The range of substantive areas is similarly wide. Orthopedic and musculoskeletal disorders encompass orthopedic surgical interventions and a wide range of disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system including, but not limited to, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, spinal disorders, regional musculoskeletal disorders, tendon, ligament and other soft tissue conditions and musculoskeletal pain.
