Background:
"Locomotive syndrome" (LS), proposed by the Japanese Orthopaedic Association in 2007, refers to a condition where a person experiences a decline in mobility due to disorders of the locomotor system. Addressing LS is mandatory to extend healthy life expectancy, especially in any super aging society. In Japan, "Locomotive Syndrome Clinical Guide 2010" was published in 2010, followed by the standardization of English terms related to locomotive syndrome. To raise international awareness, the translation of this guide into English was planned.
Methods:
We followed the standardization of English terms related to locomotive syndrome. We used the figures and tables from the Japanese version in the English translation, and specifically selected key clinical questions for translation.
Results:
We selected 14 clinical questions, with nine tables and 25 figures.
Conclusion:
The abbreviated English version of "Locomotive Syndrome Clinical Guide 2010" is complete, and we hope this Clinical Guide are utilized for any people who care "Locomotive syndrome".
