Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Assessment of Enthesopathy in Fibromyalgia Patients

Assessment of enthesopathy in patients with fibromyalgia by using new sonographic enthesitis index.

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study is to determine the frequency of enthesopathy in fibromyalgia (FM) by using a newly developed ultrasonography (US) method, the Madrid Sonography Enthesitis Index (MASEI). METHODS This study was conducted on 38 consecutive patients with FM and 48 healthy sex- and age-matched controls. Six entheseal sites (olecranon tuberosity, superior and inferior poles ...

Ultrasound in the assessment of musculoskeletal involvement in systemic sclerosis.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic connective disease in which the musculoskeletal involvement affects especially the hands and feet. Ultrasound (US) represents an important tool in the assessment of the joint and soft tissue involvement in this rheumatic disorder. Few authors have investigated the role of US in the evaluation of joints and peri-articular tissues in SSc patients. The current...

Comparison between ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging of achilles tendon enthesopathy in patients with psoriasis.

Rehabilitative ultrasound imaging for assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.

Over the past decade, researchers have increasingly identified associations between neuromusculoskeletal disorders such as low back pain and underlying neuromuscular control deficits (Hodges and Moseley, 2003). However, reliable and valid non-invasive measurement strategies to assess neuromuscular control deficits that could be employed in a clinical setting have been scarce. Evidence for the u...
