Musculoskeletal Care
Elevating Musculoskeletal Health Through Breakthrough Research and Therapies
Transforming research into the conditions of the bones, joints, spine, nerves, and muscles to restore functionality and quality of life.
From restoring the sensation of touch via prosthesis, to minimizing loss of function and movement following injury or with degenerative disease, Michigan Medicine researchers are on the forefront of research into causes of musculoskeletal conditions and the development of cutting-edge therapeutic approaches for conditions such as osteoporosis, congenital bone abnormalities and injury recovery.
