Mae’r effeithiau hyn yn ymwneud nid yn unig a gweithrediad corfforol a phoen, ond gallant hefyd effeithio ar les seicolegol, cymdeithasol ac economaidd person. Gall teuluoedd a gofalwyr person sy’n byw gyda chyflwr cyhyrysgerbydol hefyd profi effeithiau negyddol y cyflyrau hyn, ac efallai bydd angen cymorth arnynt nhw.
Musculoskeletal conditions are the most common cause of long-term pain and physical disability globally and can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life. These impacts relate not just to physical function and pain, but they can also impact on a person’s psychological, social and economic well-being. Families and carers of someone living with a musculoskeletal condition also experience the negative impacts of these conditions and can require support.
