Protocol Positions Lower Extremity
In this course, we'll demonstrate how to scan the hip, knee and ankle joint protocol in a standardized and repeatable manner.
Ventral hip - anterior joint recess and iliopsoas tendon
Ventral hip - rectus femoris muscle and direct tendon
Ventral hip - femoral neurovascular bundle
Ventral hip - sartorius
Medial hip - adductors
Lateral hip - gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, trochantor bursa
Lateral hip - tensor fasciae latae
Posterior hip - hamstrings
Posterior hip - sciatic nerve
