Shoulder joint ultrasonography - Rehasport

The shoulder joint ultrasonography is aimed at assessing the joint’s structures in terms of pain, motor and muscular strength limitation diagnostics. The ultrasonography mainly provides an image of the soft tissues, i.e. muscles, ligaments, tendons, cartilages, joint capsule, synovial membrane and synovial fluid. The examination, during which an ultrasound transducer is applied to the patient’s shoulder and particular anatomical structures are viewed, is minimally invasive and painless.

The examination allows for detecting fresh post-traumatic changes and chronic overload changes. An important part of the shoulder joint ultrasonography is the dynamic assessment. It allows for assessing particular joint structures in motion. After the examination, the doctor develops an impression, attaches the image and gives it to the patient.
