🤔 So you think you know how to palpate surface anatomy?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 A new study published by Bitterman, et al analyzed the development of palpation skills in resident trainees with the help of adjunct MSK ultrasound-dedicated curriculum.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤓 A formal 18-week MSK ultrasound course was developed and improved pre- and post-study palpation accuracy / measurements in 9 of 12 studied palpation sites.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
