To help determine the educational needs of both students and practitioners, an inventory of musculoskeletal and neurologic disorders was made of eight rural family practices for one year. Data on 54,043 patients representing 152,482 visits was put into an automated information system at the time care was received and coded by diagnosis. Computer listings provided the frequency of 372 diagnoses, the age distribution for diagnoses and the percent of total patients for each diagnosis. Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) conditions accounted for a minimum of 6.9% of the total visits and 11.7% of conditions that occurred individually in small numbers. PM&R conditions were fairly evenly distributed throughout all age ranges, indicating a need for education in both pediatric and adult areas. The breakdown of PM&R conditions by category provides valuable insight for future curriculum development.
为了帮助确定学生和从业者的教育需求，对八个农村家庭医疗诊所为期一年的肌肉骨骼和神经系统疾病情况进行了清查。在患者接受治疗时，将代表152482次就诊的54043名患者的数据录入自动信息系统，并按诊断进行编码。计算机列表提供了372种诊断的频率、诊断的年龄分布以及每种诊断在总患者中的百分比。物理医学与康复（PM&R）疾病占总就诊次数的比例至少为6.9%，在少数个体中出现的疾病中占11.7%。PM&R疾病在所有年龄范围内分布相当均匀，这表明在儿科和成人领域都需要开展教育。按类别划分的PM&R疾病细分为未来课程开发提供了有价值的见解。
