Anatomical study of musculoskeletal components described in sushrut samhita and its applied aspect in chikitsa

Summary of article contents:

The human body is a complex organism, the gross mechanical properties of which are enabled by an interconnected musculoskeletal network controlled by the nervous system. The nature of musculoskeletal interconnection facilitates stability, voluntary movements, and robustness to injury. It is also known as the locomotor system and was previously known as the activity system. The skeleton is the structure that gives us shape and protects our internal organs. It offers a supportive framework for the attachment of muscles to facilitate movement. Our bones also act as a site for the production of blood cells and a store of minerals, particularly calcium. The skeleton has five main functions: Support, protection, movement, blood cell production, and mineral storage. Despite being ancient science, Ayurveda describes human Anatomy and Musculoskeletal elements. In Ayurveda, Peshi, Asthi, Sandhi, Snayu, Kandara, along with Jaala, Kurcha, Mamsarajju, Seevani, Sangatha, and Simanta, are described as part of the Musculoskeletal system. Musculoskeletal symptoms or injuries are among the most common reasons for seeking medical attention. Despite the high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in all fields of clinical practice, clinicians continue to describe poor confidence in their musculoskeletal clinical skills. Here in this research work, an overview of the Ayurveda review of Musculoskeletal Elements and their clinical importance has been discussed. Diseases related to musculoskeletal elements are increasing day by day. Comprehensive knowledge about these elements will help us to understand the diseases better and proper and effective management.
