Ultrasound in Rehabilitation and Musculoskeletal Medicine: Applications and Future Directions

Dear Colleagues,

Point-of-care ultrasound poses multiple advantages, including its portability, lack of ionizing radiation, non-invasiveness and cost-effectiveness. Due to advances such as improved transducer technology, it has also emerged as an excellent adjunct to traditional imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, in addressing neuromusculoskeletal health. This has prompted the increasing adoption of ultrasound in fields such as rehabilitation, frailty, pain, sports medicine and musculoskeletal medicine, which in turn has led to major advances such as diagnostic evaluation and disease intervention in these fields.

This Special Issue of “Ultrasound in Rehabilitation and Musculoskeletal Medicine: Applications and Future Directions” will focus on the clinical use of ultrasound in the fields of rehabilitation science, physical medicine and rehabilitation, frailty, pain medicine, sports and exercise medicine and musculoskeletal disorders.
