Abstract

One tool that has potential to assist with improving physical therapists' ability to evaluate and treat motor control impairments is the use of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) based on its ability to provide real-time visual feedback of the underlying muscular morphology and function to both the patient and the physical therapist. Although the research and clinical applications of this emerging technology have steadily grown, there has not previously been an international meeting to organize a research agenda that could ultimately guide its role in clinical practice. The US Army-Baylor University Doctoral Program in Physical Therapy hosted a RUSI Symposium in May 2006 in San Antonio, TX. Provided in this supplement are this overview and the abstracts presented at the symposium. Synopsis statements in the format of clinical commentaries are being developed by these working groups and our goal is to have them ready for publication in 2007.
