PMID 41041141

WHAT IT FOUND

This paper describes how to perform and interpret musculoskeletal ultrasound of the rectus abdominis.

It does not report patient outcomes, diagnostic accuracy, or treatment effects, so it offers no evidence to guide clinical decisions.

What this paper is

This is a narrative review describing the anatomy of the rectus abdominis and the technique for evaluating it with musculoskeletal ultrasound. It provides no patient data, no diagnostic accuracy results, and no treatment outcomes, so there is nothing here to change your practice on.
