Musculoskeletal pain in adolescents: diagnostic criteria are distinct from those of adult forms.

Musculoskeletal impairments are a leading cause of restricting a person's activity or confinement to bed and a leading cause of work loss.
The impact of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries is expected to grow as the population increases and ages in the coming decades.
