Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound for The Lower Extremity is a 2 day, 95% hands-on-training course. In this course, you will master the 5 P’s system of MSK US assessment to confidently identify normal anatomy to facilitate clinical decision-making.  MSK ultrasound utilizes a hand-held unit to obtain the  images around the Hip {anterior hip} Hip Joint, Psoas, {lateral hip} greater trochanter, gluteus minimus, medius, maximimus, greater trochanter bursa {posterior hip} Piriformis, sciatic nerve, SI joint; Knee joint {anterior knee} suprapatellar bursa/quadriceps tendon, femoral trochlea, infrapatellar bursae, patella tendon {lateral knee} Lateral collateral ligament, Lateral meniscus, It band {medial knee} medial collateral ligament, medial meniscus, pes anserine {posterior knee} biceps femoris, popliteal fossa; Foot/Ankle {anterior ankle } anterior joint capsule, extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallicus longus, tibialis anterior {lateral ankle} anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneal, fibular ligament, tibio-fibular ligament, peroneus longus and brevis {medial ankle}  tarsal tunnel, tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, tibial nerve, {posterior ankle} achilles tendon, soleus, {plantar foot} plantar plate, plantar fascia. These images will be demonstrated and obtained in both long axis and short axis. At the conclusion of the course you will be able to accurately label, interpret and provide visual feedback to your patients and referral sources demonstrating the anatomical condition of the soft tissue structures.
[Prerequisite-No prior Ultrasound training or experience is required to attend]
