P11: Pre-Congress: Nerve & Muscle Ultrasound - Full day

This full-day course offers an introduction to neuromuscular ultrasound (NMUS) led by experts in the field.  Using lectures, demonstration sessions, and hands-on scanning opportunities, participants will learn the fundamentals of nerve and muscle ultrasonography followed by live demonstrations of appropriate scanning techniques.  Small group sessions will permit participants to scan upper and lower limbs under the guidance of faculty.  Lectures on current applications of NMUS will demonstrate its use in current practice and interesting cases will further reinforce its importance for patient care.
