Inside this resource
Extremity anatomy and scanning fundamentals
The course opens by building the anatomical foundation that ultrasound interpretation depends on — becoming familiar with the anatomy of the extremities, listing the basic components of ultrasound techniques, and learning to scan a subject using ultrasound while recognizing major anatomical structures. These fundamentals apply across every joint, making this a transferable skill set rather than a joint-specific trick.
Region-by-region ultrasound protocols
The program is organized by anatomical region: shoulder, elbow/hand/wrist, hip/knee, and ankle/foot. Each region receives dedicated attention for its specific scanning protocols and the pathology most commonly encountered. The shoulder section addresses rotator cuff evaluation, the elbow and wrist modules cover the peripheral nerve entrapment sites, and the lower extremity sessions tackle hip, knee, ankle, and foot sonography.
Pathology recognition and hands-on workshops
The final objective focuses on recognizing common pathology of the musculoskeletal system as seen on ultrasound — tendinopathies, tears, effusions, and inflammatory changes. Hands-on workshops let you practice scanning techniques under expert guidance, translating the didactic content into the motor skills that make ultrasound a reliable diagnostic tool in your practice.
Who this serves

James T. –
Excellent fundamentals course. The ankle/foot and wrist modules are particularly practical — these are areas where ultrasound skills are underutilized. The didactic-to-workshop ratio is well-balanced for learning.
Robert M. –
This course gave me the foundation I needed to incorporate ultrasound into my MSK practice. The region-by-region approach makes it easy to build skills progressively. The hands-on component was the differentiator.
Angela T. –
The hands-on workshops combined with the video content make this an exceptional ultrasound course. I went from basic scanning to confidently evaluating the shoulder and knee in just a few days. The PDFs are excellent reference material.
Patricia N. –
Good course for those starting with MSK ultrasound. The anatomy review and scanning protocol sections are thorough. The pathology recognition modules could use more examples but the overall content is strong.
Steven L. –
Comprehensive MSK ultrasound coverage across all extremity regions. The shoulder and hip modules were particularly well-taught. At 9.5 GB the download is substantial but the 49 videos and 38 PDFs justify the size.
