Musculoskeletal problems of neurogenic origin

A number of neurological disorders can manifest as isolated pain or as joint, muscle or bone alterations. These manifestations can raise significant diagnostic challenges when they occur early, before the development of neurological and/or radiological abnormalities. This chapter discusses neuropathic osteoarthropathies, neurofibromatosis, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and the complications of central nervous system lesions.
