Background: Literature assessing elasticity in rotator cuff (RC) muscles with shear wave elastography (SWE) is growing but little is known about the overall measurement properties. However, this information is crucial before implementation in research or practice. The objective of this review was first, to systematically investigate the evidence regarding reliability and validity of rotator cuff (RC) muscles shear wave elastography (SWE).

Background: In many Asian jurisdictions, patients are required to obtain referrals from registered doctors before consulting physiotherapists. In contrast, countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia have a direct access model for physiotherapists designed across different healthcare settings and under prescribed conditions. While research has demonstrated the benefits of direct access, issues remain on the appropriate policy design for direct access in the context of patient safety and organizational challenges in the implementation.
