Concerning orthopaedics and sports medicine, the elderly especially are considered as frail patients who need support to maintain the health of their musculoskeletal systems. For this reason, several interventions regarding physical activity have been investigated in recent years in order to understand whether some programs of physical activity are better than others as conservative treatments for degenerative musculoskeletal pathologies (i.e., osteoarthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy, and lower back pain). Furthermore, several investigations have been carried out to understand the best preoperative and postoperative protocols of physical activity to improve the results of orthopaedic surgery. The aim of this Special Issue was to collect the updated evidence concerning these topics in the form of a collection of systematic reviews of the literature.HumanitiesbicsscSocial interactionbicsscagingcerebral cortexdynapeniaelderlymotor unitmuscle strengthneuralneuroplasticitysarcopeniakneehiparthroplastyphysical activityprehabilitationchronic low back painold aged patientsphysical therapywalkingglobal postural rehabilitationcyclinghydrotherapyyogabiomarkersnoncommunicable diseaseshypertensiondiabetesactive exercisesportland-basedaquaticknee or hip osteoarthritisolder peoplesystematic reviewmeta-analysisosteoarthritistendinopathieship arthroplastyknee arthroplastyrehabilitationphysiotherapycaregiverorthopedic diseasecaregiver strainshouldercaregiver stressdyadsreplacementreturn to sportknee osteoarthritisunicompartimental knee arthroplastyactivityphysical exercisebalancefallsHumanitiesSocial interactionPapalia Roccoedt1338951Denaro VincenzoedtPigozzi FabioedtFossati ChiaraedtPapalia RoccoothDenaro VincenzoothPigozzi FabioothFossati ChiaraothBOOK9910674035803321Physical Activity in the Elderly and Orthopaedic Surgery3059257UNINA
