About the Cover: The rehabilitation setting provides an opportunity to learn more about the efficacy of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in patients with debilitating conditions, such as osteoarthritis and hip fracture. Beginning on page 193, John C. Licciardone, DO, MS, et al sought to determine the efficacy of OMT in patients who recently underwent surgery for knee or hip osteoarthritis or for a hip fracture. Findings from this study support the theory that a spectrum of conditions exists with varying degrees of responsiveness to OMT. Additional research should assess the use of OMT at various stages in the natural history of disease and as a complement to standard treatment over time.
