ULTRASOUND SOLUTIONS CORP. is delighted to welcome Dr. Farhad Haeri, PT, DPT, MTC, OCS, RMSK, Associate Professor at the Physical Therapy Program, SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University, for an insightful examination of upper extremity musculoskeletal anatomy.
Course Description:
This presentation is designed to provide Sonographers with a foundational understanding of upper extremity musculoskeletal anatomy and the skills necessary to accurately visualize and assess these structures using sonographic techniques. Participants will gain an understanding of the major bones, muscles, joints, and ligaments of the shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand, as well as learn how to apply this knowledge in clinical settings. Through a combination of anatomical discussion and practical imaging techniques, attendees will be able to identify and describe key musculoskeletal structures, explain their functions and movements, and analyze their role in functional activities. Additionally, the use of sonographic protocols and settings to obtain high-quality diagnostic images, including dynamic assessments of joint motion will be covered. (Approved for 1 SDMS CME credit, provided one is present for the entire event)
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this educational activity, the participant will be able to:
Identify and describe the major bones, muscles, joints, and ligaments of the upper extremity, including the shoulder, upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand.
Explain the function and movement of each component of the upper extremity, including the biomechanics of joint motion and muscle actions.
Analyze the relationship between anatomical structures and their role in functional movements and activities, with an emphasis on clinical relevance.
Identify key musculoskeletal structures, including the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and bones, through sonographic imaging.
Apply sonographic techniques for musculoskeletal imaging utilizing appropriate sonographic protocols and settings to obtain clear and diagnostic images, with a focus on dynamic assessment of joint movement.

This activity is an approved SDMS CME activity – approved for 1.0 SDMS CME credit.
Please note that partial credit will not be issued.
The CME participant roster will be reported by Ultrasound Solutions Corp. to the
SDMS CME Tracker System.
Important update from the SDMS:
SDMS no longer allows its CME providers to issue Partial Credit for attendance. If you join late or leave early, the SDMS will no longer permit us to award partial pro-rated credit.
Therefore, from now on, in order to receive CME credit, you must be in attendance for the ENTIRE event via your own unique Zoom link that Zoom emailed to you when you registered. Then, and only then, will USC be able to award you any credit. So, please be prompt and attentive to the time schedule. We apologize for any inconvenience, but again, this is a new SDMS policy we must abide by. Thank you for understanding.
