“…Distinctions have been made between rehabilitative versus diagnostic USI (Teyhen, 2006;Whittaker et al, 2007a). The main reason for these distinctions was to draw attention to the differing levels of training and content needed for competent use of rehabilitative USI, in contrast to that required to be competent in diagnostic USI (Teyhan, 2007;Whittaker et al, 2007a). The level of training required to use USI in a diagnostic capacity needs to be commensurate to allow accurate diagnoses to be made.…”

“…Whilst it is agreed that guidelines should be implemented to direct training and competence (Leech et al, 2015;Teyhan, 2007;Whittaker and Stokes, 2011;Whittaker et al, 2007a), there is a lack of consensus regarding the threshold level and content of training that is adequate for physiotherapists to use USI. This issue has not been resolved to date and provides active debate within the physiotherapy USI community.…”

The physiotherapy community has been proactive in defining different uses of USI, particularly those more suitable to physiotherapy practice, such as distinguishing between diagnostic and rehabilitative USI (Teyhan, 2007;Whittaker et al, 2007b). However, these definitions do not necessarily define or shape scopes of practice for USI use by physiotherapists.…”

This paper is dedicated to the memory of Rachael. A very bright star, taken too soon. The world and physiotherapy profession are less bright without you. Rest easy. Keywords: Physiotherapists Ultrasound imaging Survey A B S T R A C TBackground: In New Zealand ultrasound imaging (USI) is being used increasingly by physiotherapists. To fully understand the extent to which physiotherapists in New Zealand are using USI, it is necessary to evaluate not only the context of its clinical use but also the barriers preventing its uptake. Objectives: To examine the field and scope of use of USI, the type and content of training and the barriers restricting physiotherapists from using the technique. Design: Cross-sectional observational design utilising an Internet-based electronic survey. Method: An electronic survey built on the design of previous research with guidance from an expert review panel. Participants were included if they were New Zealand registered physiotherapists. Results: Of the 465 participants who responded, 433 were eligible to complete the survey. There were 415 participants who completed the survey, 24% who said they used USI whilst 76% did not. For those using USI, the uses were varied including those within a rehabilitative paradigm (i.e. biofeedback; 52%) and also diagnostic (49%). USI training was also varied ranging from formal to informal. The main barriers preventing physiotherapists from using USI were lack of training, access to equipment, and equipment expense. Conclusions: The participants reported a variety of clinical uses of USI and levels of training. A better understanding of the clinical uses and benefits of USI would enhance both training and clinical uptake. With the identification of barriers limiting physiotherapists' use of USI, ways to overcome these in New Zealand can now be explored further.

Abstract. [Purpose] This study was conducted to investigate the effects of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) feedback during the abdominal hollowing exercise (AHE) in three different positions by monitoring the changes in the thicknesses of the abdominal muscles.[Subjects] The subjects of this study were 42 healthy male adults who listened to an explanation of the study method and purpose and agreed to participate in the experiments. They were divided into an experimental group of 21 subjects who received RUSI feedback and a control group of 21 subjects who did not receive RUSI feedback.[Methods] The thickness of the abdominal muscles was measured during rest and AHE in three positions. The thickness changes between rest and AHE were compared between the two groups.[Results] The difference in internal abdominal oblique (IO) thickness changes between the groups were significant. The differences in external abdominal oblique (EO) thickness changes were only significant among the positions. A post hoc analysis of the differences in EO thickness changes among the positions found significant differences between the crook lying and four-point kneeling positions. The transversus abdominis (TrA) thickness changes showed significant interaction between group and position. [Conclusion] RUSI feedback assists the independent activities of TrA by decreasing the thickness changes of global muscles such as IO and EO. Furthermore, crook lying is a more effective position in AH training with RUSI feedback than the other two positions as it increases TrA thickness changes while minimizing those of EO.

“…Clinical use is being reported with increasing frequency by rheumatologists (Brown et al, 2004;Cunnington, Platt, Raftery, & Kane, 2007), sports medicine practitioners (Tok, Ö zçakar, De Muynck, Kara, & Vanderstraeten, 2012;Yim & Corrado, 2012), physical medicine physicians (Ö zçakar, , and orthopedic surgeons (Seagger, Bunker, & Hamer, 2011;Thomason & Cooke, 2012;Ziegler, 2010). Musculoskeletal sonography is also being incorporated into research and clinical practice by athletic trainers and physical therapy practitioners (Teyhen, 2007). Physical therapists use sonography to visualize morphological changes over time as a clinical outcome measure (Brown, 2009), to monitor tissue response to therapy as a means for clinical decision making (Callaghan, 2012), and to provide biofeedback for enhancing patient engagement and improve the precision of clinical interventions (Ariail, Sears, & Hampton, 2008;Herbert, Heiss, & Basso, 2008;Worth, Henry, & Bunn, 2007).…”

Occupational therapy practice is grounded in the delivery of occupation-centered, patient-driven treatments that engage clients in the process of doing to improve health. As emerging technologies, such as medical imaging, find their way into rehabilitation practice, it is imperative that occupational therapy practitioners assess whether and how these tools can be incorporated into treatment regimens that are dually responsive to the medical model of health care and to the profession’s foundation in occupation. Most medical imaging modalities have a discrete place in occupation-based intervention as outcome measures or for patient education; however, sonographic imaging has the potential to blend multiple occupational therapy practice forms to document treatment outcomes, inform clinical reasoning, and facilitate improved functional performance when used as an accessory tool in direct intervention. Use of medical imaging is discussed as it relates to occupational foundations and the professional role within the context of providing efficient, effective patient-centered rehabilitative care.
