Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (MSKUS) for The Upper Extremity is a 2 day, 95% hands-on-training course. In this course, you will master the 5 P’s system of diagnostic US assessment to confidently identify normal anatomy to facilitate clinical decision-making. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound is focused on utilizing a transducer of a MSK ultrasound handheld unit to obtain images around the Shoulder joint (biceps, a-c joint, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis, rotator cuff interval); Elbow joint (anterior elbow “pyramid”, anterior fat pad, lateral epicondyle, distal biceps {lateral and distal approach}, medial epicondyle, ulnar nerve, posterior elbow, triceps tendon; hand/wrist (carpal tunnel, median nerve, ulnar nerve, Dequervains tendons, 1st CMC joint, basal joint/thumb ulnar collateral ligament, dorsal metacarpophalangeal joint, triangular fibrocartilage complex, annular pulley). 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 real time visual feedback to your patients and referral sources demonstrating the anatomical condition of the soft tissue structures.
Prerequisite-no prior MSK Ultrasound training or experience is required to attend.
The purpose of the Musculoskeletal Ultrasound for the Upper Extremity is to obtain knowledge and clinical skills necessary to visualize joints and associated muscles and tendons by obtaining good imaging and effectively make decisions on treatment, or referral to appropriate knowledgeable provider. Providing real-time visual feedback on the condition of anatomical structures significantly increases patient engagement. This 16 -hour applied-learning course combines live demonstrations and practical hands-on labs. Students participate in small groups of 2 or 3 to practice achieving reliable and reproducible images, which will be evaluated by the instructor with individual feedback provided. Supervised lab sessions are performed to effectively get the best image of targeted structure possible, identify structures in the image and be able to describe and label the image from the bone up to the skin.
This course is designed for licensed healthcare professionals, PT’s, OT’s, DC’s, M.D.’s, D.O.’s. PA’s, ATC’s and APRN’s that specialize in treating MSK pain can benefit and easily implement the information into their clinical practice.
