What this trial studies
This observational study aims to enhance the quality of care for patients with orthopedic disorders at St Luc Hospital in Brussels. It will assess the impact of orthopedic treatments on structural and functional levels, including mobility and strength, as well as the effects on patients' daily activities and participation in life. The study employs the ICF model to evaluate these factors, which is a novel approach in managing musculoskeletal impairments. Data collected will also help define surgical precision and improve treatment strategies for orthopedic patients.
Who should consider this trial

Not a fit: Patients with multiple pathologies or those unable to understand instructions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies and enhanced quality of life for patients with orthopedic disorders.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of the ICF model in this context is relatively novel, similar studies have shown promise in improving patient outcomes in orthopedic care.
