    BACKGROUND: Despite the rising burden of musculoskeletal (MSK) problems (MSK conditions, MSK pain, and MSK injury and trauma) in most countries, actions to improve (strengthen) systems for supporting MSK health are often low on the priority list, relative to other noncommunicable diseases. Delivering effective, person-centered and equitable MSK health care requires strengthening systems for health, for example, through policy, financing, service delivery, and workforce initiatives. A critical, but often overlooked component is genuine integration of lived experience perspectives to cocreate care and systems that are responsive to people's needs and contexts. CLINICAL QUESTION: How can cocreation approaches support effective, person-centered and equitable MSK health care? What principles can stakeholders adopt to build responsive health systems? KEY RESULTS: Lived experience perspectives are not systematically integrated in initiatives to strengthen health systems. However, such integration is critical to creating equitable and person-centered health systems that provide care and support healthy populations. Cocreation principles and frameworks can guide processes to strengthen health systems, which must include historically marginalized groups and consider social and environmental contexts as they relate to health. CLINICAL APPLICATION: Clinicians, educators, and policy-makers play a critical role in creating equitable health systems and environments, and driving system reform with people who have lived experience. Genuine cocreation approaches capture diverse economic development (in particular, low-resource settings where health inequities are more prevalent), span the life course and diagnostic categories, are appropriate and/or adapted for the context and setting, and reflect evolving standards and opportunities for MSK health.
