The use of ultrasound for the diagnosis and management of athletic conditions has been increasing over the past decade. Several advantages of ultrasound have been recognised. It is a non-invasive, low-cost, portable imaging technique, which may be used by practitioners and technicians with variable expertise. It is a useful point-of-care tool, used to guide the real-time management of athletes.
The expanding role of ultrasound in sports medicine has been applied to several distinct areas: cardiovascular ultrasound (echocardiogram) and its potential to prevent sudden cardiac death in young athletes, musculoskeletal ultrasound for the diagnosis of a variety of disorders and guidance of minimally invasive treatments (namely, therapeutic injections), and abdominal ultrasound in order to assess splenic enlargement and groin pain.
Ongoing research continues to identify potential areas for the application of ultrasound in sports medicine including vascular ultrasound to identify and treat thrombosis, bone quantitative ultrasound to assess for bone mineralisation, and ultrasound to determine hydration status and intravascular volume.
This module is designed to provide insight into the use of ultrasound in sports medicine.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
