The role of ultrasound imaging in disease diagnosis and monitoring the effects of physiotherapeutic treatment of the lumbosacral spine – an overview of research
Journal Title: Rehabilitacja Medyczna - Year 2019, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
Ultrasound Imaging (USG) is a method being increasingly used in physiotherapy. It is applied successfully in the study of joints, tendons and muscles. Muscle ultrasound examination is helpful in diagnosing and the choice of medicinal and therapeutic methods for the treatment of motion organ diseases and monitoring the effects of the utilised physiotherapeutic methods. Therefore, it is used by doctors and increasingly, by physiotherapists. The aim of the study is to present the role of abdominal muscle ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis of lumbar-spine disorders on the basis of the latest available research findings. Literary research was carried out on the basis of a systematic review of domestic and foreign studies in the analysed area. The first part of the paper contains theoretical aspects of the USG examination, including the basics of its use and the principles of exercise, illustrating the potential for using ultrasound imaging as a method of examining the oblique and transverse abdominal muscles. The second part of the article is, in turn, an aggregated set of available results of research on the effectiveness, credibility and reliability of this method in the diagnosis of lumbar spine diseases as well as in monitoring the effects of physiotherapy. The second part of the article ends with the development of a catalogue of drawbacks and advantages of ultrasound imaging in the treatment of motion organ illnesses. The final part of the study is an analysis of the future aspect, with particular emphasis on the direction of development of ultrasound imaging in both orthopaedics, rheumatology and physiotherapy.<br/><br/>
