Ultrasound (US) imaging has become an important topic of study in physical medicine and rehabilitation. In a recent issue of the American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, we started a series of 6 articles on this topic.
The authors have revised and updated the ultrasound protocols of the European Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Study Group in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine and the Ultrasound Study Group of the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (EURO-MUSCULUS/USPRM). Each article is dedicated to one of six major joints of the body.
