Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed. A major restriction of joint movement range was frequent in the shoulder but uncommon in other joints(1).

                      Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders(1). According to CDC, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affects over 52 millions of adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions(2). Rheumatoid Arthritis can induced bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation(4). A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes(4a).

An ancient form of medical technique originated from India, is become a popular multimodal mind-body exercise in the Western world for promoted flexibility, strength, endurance, and balance(412, 335). According to university research conducted at a medical clinic, Yoga significantly decreased Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) disability index, decreased perception of pain and depression, and improved balance in women with rheumatoid arthritis(336) and hand grip strength in normal persons and in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(337) as well as inducing positive changes in psychological or physiological outcomes(338).
But in the review of Eight RCTs with a total of 559 subjects, Dr. Cramer H and the research team at the Klinik für Naturheilkunde und Integrative Medizin, Knappschafts-Krankenhaus said" ,...there was very low evidence (of yoga) for effects on pain and disability,.... only weak recommendations can be made for the ancillary use of yoga in the management of....... RA at this point"(339).
