“…3,4 The societal and economic costs of MSK problems are estimated to be approximately $874 billion per year, and this amount is rising. 5 Somatic dysfunction can be treated by a manual therapeutic approach known as osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), by which the physician's hands are used to correct the dysfunction in the targeted tissue. Osteopathic physicians who perform OMT commonly observe that tissues with somatic dysfunction are associated with palpable stiffness of the musculature in the region of concern and that such muscle stiffness changes after OMT.…”

Objectives-To investigate the feasibility of ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) in assessing iliocostalis lumborum muscle changes after osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT).Methods-Using a linear array ultrasound transducer (4-9 MHz), we prospectively measured the shear wave velocity (SWV) of bilateral iliocostalis lumborum muscles in 20 patients with low back somatic dysfunction and in 9 age-matched healthy volunteers. The SWV was measured in muscle relaxation and contraction in all participants and immediately before and after OMT in patients. We developed a muscle SWV rate [SWV contraction -SWV relaxation )/SWV relaxation ] and an SWV improvement index [(SWV pre-OMT -SWV post-OMT )/SWV pre-OMT ] for quantifying muscle contractibility and changes in muscle stiffness after OMT. Statistical analyses included an unpaired t test to analyze the difference in the muscle SWV between muscle relaxation and contraction and between somatic dysfunction and nonsomatic dysfunction in patients and healthy volunteers, a paired t test to examine the difference in the SWV and SWV rate before and after OMT, the intraclass correlation coefficient to test intraobserver and interobserver reliability, and Spearman rank correlation to analyze the correlation of changes in the SWV with manual osteopathic assessments.Results-The mean ages of the patients with low back somatic dysfunction and the healthy volunteers were 28 and 26 years, respectively. The muscle SWV significantly differed between somatic dysfunction and nonsomatic dysfunction in patients and healthy volunteers, between muscle relaxation and contraction, and before and after OMT (P < .001). The SWV improvement index moderately correlated with manual osteopathic assessments (r = 0.68). The interobserver and intraobserver reliability for performing SWE was good (intraclass correlation coefficient, >0.8).Conclusions-Our results suggest that SWE is feasible for quantifying the change in muscle stiffness and contractibility after OMT.

The key question addressed in this Chapter is “What do people need?“, with “people” here meaning those who live with a rheumatic or musculoskeletal disease. The word “patient” is avoided at this point as not all of the problems or solutions identified are medical in nature. Many are personal, societal and/or environmental. The lead authors are all people who not only live with a rheumatic or musculoskeletal disease, but who are experienced “patient representatives”. Therefore, their insights here stem from a combination of personal and collective experiences and views. Although from different continents, the authors identify a range of common barriers to social participation and optimum management of these conditions, such as late diagnosis, stigma and access to care. However, several solutions are common across these regions too, such as the need for supported self-management and greater public awareness of the impact of these diseases.
