What it is Filled
Any disease, injury or condition affecting the muscles, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments and related connective tissues, including arthritis, back pain of musculoskeletal origin, tendon and shoulder conditions such as periarthritis, foot pain, fractures, work-related disorders and musculoskeletal neoplasms; musculoskeletal disorders are among the leading causes of disability worldwide and are managed in orthopaedics, rheumatology, physiotherapy and occupational health.

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Diagnose a specific musculoskeletal disorder or prescribe treatment in place of a clinician.
- Recommend unproven treatments or exercises that could worsen an injury.
- Disclose a person's condition to an employer or insurer without consent.
- Dismiss chronic pain as exaggerated.
Only with a human decision
- Decisions on a person's fitness to work or entitlement to disability support.
- Prescribing medication, surgery or restrictive equipment.
May
- Share reliable general information about musculoskeletal disorders and when to seek care.
- Help a clinician or patient keep exercise and symptom records they have agreed to.
