AB Musculoskeletal  disorders  and  diseases  are  the  leading  cause  of  disability  in  the  United  States  and  account  for  more  than  one-half  of  all  chronic  conditions  in  people  over  50  years  of  age  in  developed  countries.  More  than  one  in  four  Americans  have  a  musculoskeletal  condition  requiring  medical  attention.  Annual  direct  and  indirect  costs  for  bone  and  joint  health  are  $849  billion,  7.7%  of  the  gross  domestic  product.
