Although consumers' need assessment generally suggest that, what consumers need as products or services influence their consumption, little research on consumption of disability resources, relating to musculoskeletal disorders exists. However, most medical practitioners defined musculoskeletal disorders by symptoms or clinical disorders and other used self-report. The authors examined the effects of musculoskeletal disorders and ultimate consumption of specific products (orthopedic devices, medications), as well as the cost of surgical options (e.g., gastric reduction surgery). Emphasis was on product categories, such as disability devices and consumption of disability resources. The authors conclude that there are positive relationships between musculoskeletal disorders and consumption of disability products, either to maintain certain lifestyles or reduce pains and sufferings. Finally the authors discussed the advancement of marketing theory with musculoskeletal consumption analysis. Opportunity for further research in the area is enhanced and encouraged. |
