Long-axis and short-axis musculoskeletal ultrasound images demonstrating a complete Achilles tendon rupture. The long-axis image shows discontinuity of the Achilles tendon with a visible gap between tendon ends and an intact plantaris tendon. The short-axis images demonstrate tendon disruption, surrounding hematoma, and adjacent anatomical structures including the soleus muscle, sural nerve, and small saphenous vein.

Diagnostic Ultrasound Is More Than a Diagnostic Tool

From injury diagnosis to rehabilitation progression, diagnostic ultrasound is increasingly being used to support clinical decision-making, monitor recovery, and enhance patient care in sports medicine.

This image shows an ultrasound transducer secured over the posterior lower leg using a fixation device to allow consistent imaging during movement or loading tasks. This setup enables the assessment of dynamic tissue behavior, including muscle and fascial displacement, which can be analyzed to evaluate fascial gliding and interlayer motion.

Fascial Gliding and Ultrasound: A New Way to Measure Recovery in Athletes

Ultrasound is evolving beyond static imaging. This article explores how fascial gliding can be quantified using motion tracking and what this reveals about tissue behavior, recovery, and performance. A shift from structure to measurable tissue mechanics.
