Abstract :
The use of ultrasound (US) as an imaging modality for the evaluation of the musculoskeletal system in the rehabilitation settings
has expanded dramatically in the last decade. The resolution of US has improved thanks to the technological advancements, and
access is easier due to the lower cost of equipment. The US in the rehabilitation settings adds accuracy on diagnosis and security
in dynamic guidance for interventional procedures. These benefits have increased the US use in musculoskeletal clinics and rehabilitation
settings, providing clinical, anatomical, and technical integration all in a one-day evaluation. The aim of this review is to
instruct beginners in the recognition of different musculoskeletal tissues, commonly seen artifacts, and understanding the basics
of musculoskeletal ultrasound.
