No patient outcomes are reported.
This is a guide to ultrasound evaluation of the iliopsoas, not evidence that it improves diagnosis or care.
What this paper is
This article is a narrative guide for rehabilitation providers on using diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound to evaluate the iliopsoas. It describes anatomy, patient positioning, transducer choices, dynamic scanning, possible pathological findings, and how ultrasound might be integrated into rehabilitation. It reports no patients, no outcomes, no comparison with other tests, and no evidence that ultrasound changes diagnosis or care. There is no study finding here to act on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not treat this guide as evidence that ultrasound improves iliopsoas diagnosis or outcomes. It reports no patients or outcomes.
