The slightest movement of the human body is explicitly dependent on one’s musculoskeletal system, which consists of various muscles, tissues, and bones. Thus, one of the most widely known musculoskeletal dysfunctions is osteoarthritis. This disease is characterized by the abnormal function of synovial joints, causing unbearable pain during one’s movement. This condition is more common for older people with excessive weight due to the substantial pressure on bones and joints during movement (Falkner & Green, 2018). This disease has a detrimental impact on one’s function, as it limits the ability to move, whereas the lack of movement contributes to rapid pain deterioration. For this reason, these pain symptoms should be carefully managed through physiotherapy.
As far as metabolic dysfunction is concerned, the issue primarily concerns the body’s processing of various foods and turning them into energy and hormones. Diabetes is one of the most common and complex metabolic dysfunctions, which stands for the pancreas’ ability to produce enough insulin to stabilize the blood sugar (Falkner & Green, 2018). Numbness in the hands and feet, fatigue, frequent urination, thirst, weight abnormalities, and higher exposure to infections are some of the most common symptoms of diabetes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021). Diabetes contributes to the rapid deterioration of one’s vital organ function, including the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys, eventually leading to the emergence of chronic diseases and the inability to perform ADLs autonomously.
Finally, as far as the multisystem complexities are concerned, the notion stands for the rapid deterioration in the function of multiple body systems as a result of an infection that disseminates across the body. Sepsis is a prime example of such a response, as it simultaneously affects one’s respiratory and cardiac systems (Falkner & Green, 2018). The symptoms include fever, tachypnea, tachycardia, and abnormal white blood cell count (Ibid.). Hence, sepsis completely blocks the healthy function of one’s body and leads to a near-death experience.
