This research area encompasses various underpinning clinical and engineering sciences related to the neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) system. The scope covers the molecular understanding of the pathologies associated with the NMS system and health protection against those disease and disabling processes; laboratory, imaging and functional assessment of the NMS system; acute and long-term therapeutics for NMS disorders; assistive technologies for rehabilitation and enablement. A major focus of this thematic area is to help develop healthcare technology that will support NMS health in the community.
