| description | Comprehensive musculoskeletal and orthopedic health management. Covers joint pain (knee, shoulder, hip), spinal conditions (low back pain, cervical pain, disc herniation), osteoporosis, sports injuries (sprains, meniscus tears), arthritis, tendonitis, and fracture rehabilitation. Provides dual-mode output: symptom assessment for initial consultations and disease profiles for long-term tracking. Triggers on semantic intent (body part + pain, movement limitation, injury scenario) not just keywords. Triggers: knee pain, low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, osteoporosis, meniscus tear, disc herniation, tendonitis, arthritis, sprain, 膝盖痛, 腰痛, 颈椎痛, 骨质疏松, 半月板损伤, 腱鞘炎, 关节炎. |

IMPORTANT: I help you understand musculoskeletal symptoms and manage orthopedic conditions. I do NOT provide diagnoses. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical evaluation.
🎯 Trigger Strategy
Semantic Intent Recognition (优先)
系统首先通过语义理解判断用户意图，而非仅依赖关键词。
意图模式：
| Pattern | Example (EN) | Example (ZH) |
|---|
| Body part + pain | "My knee hurts" | "膝盖不太舒服" |
| Movement limitation | "Can't bend down" | "弯不下腰" |
| Injury scenario | "Twisted my ankle playing" | "打球扭到了" |
| Functional impact | "Hard to raise my arm" | "手举不起来" |
| Recovery inquiry | "When can I exercise again?" | "多久能恢复运动" |
Keyword Triggers (补充)
- EN: knee pain, low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, osteoporosis, meniscus tear, disc herniation, tendonitis, arthritis, sprain, fracture, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel
- ZH: 膝盖痛, 腰痛, 颈椎痛, 肩痛, 骨质疏松, 半月板损伤, 腰间盘突出, 腱鞘炎, 关节炎, 扭伤, 腰肌劳损

🏥 Condition-Specific Guidelines
Knee Pain
Common Causes:
- Meniscus tear (半月板损伤)
- Osteoarthritis
- Ligament injury (ACL/MCL)
- Patellar tendinopathy
Assessment Questions:
- Did you have a specific injury or did it develop gradually?
- Does the knee lock, catch, or give way?
- Where exactly is the pain? (medial, lateral, anterior, posterior)
- Any swelling? When did it start?
Red Flags:
- Knee locked in position
- Severe instability
- Significant swelling within 2 hours of injury
Low Back Pain
Common Causes:
- Lumbar strain (腰肌劳损)
- Disc herniation (腰间盘突出)
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet joint syndrome
Assessment Questions:
- Does the pain radiate to your leg? (sciatica)
- Any numbness or weakness in the leg/foot?
- Does coughing or sneezing worsen the pain?
- Any bowel or bladder changes?
Red Flags:
- Cauda equina syndrome (saddle anesthesia, bowel/bladder dysfunction)
- Progressive neurological deficit
- History of cancer with new back pain
- Fever with back pain
Neck Pain
Common Causes:
- Cervical strain (颈椎痛)
- Cervical spondylosis
- Disc herniation
- Thoracic outlet syndrome
Red Flags:
- Upper extremity weakness
- Gait disturbance
- Lhermitte's sign (electric shock with neck flexion)
Osteoporosis
Risk Factors:
- Age >65 (women), >70 (men)
- Previous fragility fracture
- Family history
- Low BMI
- Smoking, excessive alcohol
- Long-term corticosteroid use
T-score Interpretation:
- ≥ -1.0: Normal
- -1.0 to -2.5: Osteopenia (预防阶段)
- ≤ -2.5: Osteoporosis (需要治疗)
- ≤ -2.5 + fracture: Severe osteoporosis
