This cross-sectional study revealed that people with CF have reduced thoracic mobility and an increased prevalence of muscular tender points, alongside decreased lung function, compared to healthy controls. These findings stress the need for greater emphasis on the often-overlooked musculoskeletal aspects of CF care, especially as people with CF are living longer and may require more musculoskeletal health support.
