Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries or conditions affecting muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These conditions are commonly seen in workplace injuries, road traffic accidents, and repetitive strain cases, often leading to pain, reduced mobility, and functional limitations.
Accurate medical assessment is essential in medicolegal cases to determine the severity and long-term impact of these conditions. Dr. Kavita Poply provides professional expert witness services for musculoskeletal disorders, delivering clear, structured, and evidence-based reports for legal proceedings.
