Overview
Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions account for more disability and more costs to the US health care system than any other condition, and with the aging of the population, it is expected that the burden to society will continue to increase. The burden of MSK diseases in the US is currently estimated at 1 in 2 (126.6 million) adults, twice the rate of chronic heart and lung conditions.
