2021 Workshop Handout Bundle-Basic MSK and Muscle Ultrasound

Basic MSK and Muscle Ultrasound - Kim

Pdf Summary

This document discusses the use of ultrasound (US) in the field of musculoskeletal (MSK) and muscle imaging. It provides an overview of the history of ultrasound in medicine, its applications in physical therapy and diagnostics, and its use in therapeutic interventions such as injections. <br /><br />The document also highlights the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine's position statement on ultrasound-guided injections, which states that ultrasound-guided injections are more accurate and effective than blind or landmark-guided injections for certain conditions.<br /><br />The use of ultrasound in MSK conditions, spinal procedures, and the management of focal spasticity is also discussed. It highlights the benefits of ultrasound in confirming focal peripheral nerve entrapments, diagnosing myopathies and neuromuscular disorders, and providing direct feedback to residents in electrodiagnostic training.<br /><br />The document then provides a comprehensive list of muscles in the neck, shoulder girdle, upper limb, and lower limb, along with their origins, insertions, actions, innervation, and blood supply. It includes illustrations and ultrasound images of various nerves in the neck and upper limb, highlighting their relationships with adjacent structures.<br /><br />Overall, this document emphasizes the importance and utility of ultrasound in the field of musculoskeletal and muscle imaging, both in diagnostics and therapeutic interventions.
