Musculoskeletal rehabilitation, including physiotherapy, needs to move towards a broader biopsychosocial understanding of musculoskeletal conditions and the delivery of high-value care for people with persistent pain conditions, in which a patient-centered approach is a key feature. However, it has been reported that clinicians experience difficulties with integrating patient-centered care principles into their clinical practice. Based on a focused symposium about patient-centered care for patients with musculoskeletal conditions, held during the online 2021 World Physiotherapy Congress, the purpose of this article is to share key elements of the content of this symposium with a wider audience, aimed at enabling clinicians to enhance patient-centeredness in their current practice. These key elements include establishing meaningful connections, deciding together and self-management support. Moreover, challenges on patient-centered care in low/middle income countries will be discussed and recommendations to implement patient-centered care in clinical practice will be provided.

包括物理治疗在内的肌肉骨骼康复需要对肌肉骨骼疾病有更广泛的生物心理社会理解，并为患有持续性疼痛的人提供高价值的护理，其中以患者为中心的方法是一个关键特征。然而，据报道，临床医生在将以患者为中心的护理原则融入临床实践方面遇到了困难。基于在 2021 年在线世界物理治疗大会期间举行的以患者为中心的肌肉骨骼疾病患者护理专题研讨会，本文的目的是与更广泛的受众分享本次研讨会内容的关键要素，旨在使临床医生能够在他们目前的实践中加强以病人为中心。这些关键要素包括建立有意义的联系，共同决策和自我管理支持。此外，还将讨论中低收入国家以患者为中心的护理面临的挑战，并提供在临床实践中实施以患者为中心的护理的建议。
