Abstract

COVID -19 has lead to substantially increased number of patients with musculoskeletal problems such as muscle pain and Joint pain. In rural part of India patients are even reporting with avascular necrosis and flared up arthritis. Assessing these patients for multiple system involvement is going to help in  planning long term rehabilitation.
