VALORACION OSTEOMUSCULAR

During an examination, the limitations of ultrasound imaging include which of the following?

• 1. Inability to clearly see cartilage in infants.

• 2. Disruption of cardiac pacemakers.

• 3. Difficulty penetrating bone and therefore visualizing internal structure of bones.

• 4. Inability to give a clear picture of tendons and therefore diagnose tendon tears.

• 2. Weakness of both quadratus lumborum muscles.

• 3. Weakness of the rectus abdominis and oblique muscle groups.

• 4. Excessive elastic shortening of the ipsilateral hamstring muscle group.
