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(1).

      Types of Musculo-Skeletal disorders in elder

1. Osteoarthritis
2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis
5. Cervical myleopathy and spinal canal stenosis
6. Osteoporosis
7. Low back pain
8. Fibromyalgia

                                                      Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia, according to the American College of Rheumatology 1990 Criteria for the Classification of Fibromyalgia in the newly proposed criteria for the classification of fibromyalgia are 1) widespread pain in combination with 2) tenderness at 11 or more of the 18 specific tender point sites(a) as a result in responding to pressure.

                              The  Complications

1. Negative impact in relationships
Fibromyalgia can result in a substantial negative impact on important relationships with family and close friends(36), according to the survey of 6,126 adults, lts diagnosed with fibromyalgia, including mildly to moderately damaged relationship(s) with their spouse(s)/partner(s) or contributed to a break-up with a spouse or partner.(35).
Dr. Yener M and colleagues at the joint study led by the Suleyman Demirel University, said, "FM can cause deterioration of emotional status and lead to sexual dysfunction. Also, psychological status could be affected in spouses of women with FM at reproductive age, and the severity of depression of their spouses was significantly correlated to that of women with FM"(36). further more, fibromyalgia also found to induce sexual dysfunction and quality of life of the spouse as well, according to the Harran University Medical School study(37)

2. Psychological problem
According to the study by Monash University and Monash Medical Centre in comparison between FM patients and healthy individuals found significant difeferences in control (Perceived Control of Internal States Scale and Mastery S.cale), patients with fibromyalgia also are associated to both high and low levels of stress, mood, pain, and fatigue(38).
Dr. Malin K Dr. Littlejohn GO said, "Stress in females with fibromyalgia associates with both key symptoms and a range of relevant psychological variables. Stress appears to have a major role in modulating several key 'up-stream' processes in fibromyalgia"(39). Spouse of reproductive age women are also experience to enormous amount of psychological problem, including anxiety and depression(40).
3. Pain disability
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) has found to exhibited pain disability but  differences in genders
(41). Women with fibromyalgia reported higher intensity of pain, tender point count, and depression than men(41). According to the, manual therapy protocol was effective to improve pain intensity, reduce pressure pain sensitivity, with significant impact of FMS symptoms, sleep quality, and depressive symptoms, particular in women(42).
In fact, the joint study led by the McGill University Health Centre suggested, the risk of disability of patients with fibromyalgia is substantial high in Western World(one out of three)(43).

4. Impaired functionality, and impact on the quality of life
Women with Fibromyalgia also showed a positive correlation of  impaired functionality(46), and impact on the quality of life in comparison to women without(44). According to the Pamukkale University Medical School, in the survey of 51 patients with FMS and 41 control subjects, patients with fibromyalgia reported higher in impaired functional status(46) and diminished quality of life than control(45).

5. Fall risk and Postural control deficits
There were significant relationships between fall risk  in patients with Fibromyalgia. Worse postural performance and fall risk found in the fibromyalgia patients may be resulted of the sleep quality in the last 24 h and level of fatigue(47). According to the Oregon Health & Science University, objective sensory deficits on dynamic posturography(48) and impaired balance(49)
 is also found consistently to associate to middle-aged FM patients inducing fall rates.
The reduced fall risk and postural control deficits probably can be achieved through  combine balance training with exercise and cognitive training(50).
