EURO-MUSCULUS/USPRM Dynamic Ultrasound Protocols for Shoulder

Am J Phys Med Rehabil. 2022 Mar 1;101(3):e29-e36. doi: 10.1097/PHM.0000000000001833.

Abstract

In this dynamic protocol, ultrasound examination of the shoulder using different maneuvers is described for several/relevant shoulder problems. Scanning videos are coupled with real-time patient examination videos for better understanding. The authors believe that this practical guide prepared by an international consensus of several experts (EURO-MUSCULUS: European Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Study Group and USPRM: Ultrasound Study Group of ISPRM [International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine]) will help musculoskeletal physicians perform a better and uniform/standard approach.
