AbstractMusculoskeletal (MSK) trauma is a major cause of disability and pain worldwide. Despite surgical advances following MSK injuries, poor functional outcomes following surgery remain a major public health concern. Traditional methods of rehabilitation involving bed rest and immobilization led to muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and an inability to return to previous levels of activity. Recent research has provided evidence that early rehabilitation with a multidisciplinary team can prevent these negative outcomes and improve functional outcomes following MSK trauma. In order to continue to optimize recovery, standardized rehabilitation protocols and technological advances are required.Copyright © 2020. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
