Imaging patients to detect progress with ultrasound following ACL surgery isn’t revolutionary. However, seeing what the healing quadriceps look like while walking wasn’t possible until Usono and Clarius partnered to bring hands-free and wearable ultrasound imaging to researchers.
The wearable ultrasound solution, which pairs a Clarius HD3 high-definition wireless ultrasound scanner with research software and Usono’s ProbeFix Dynamic, enables hands-free, stable, and reproducible ultrasound imaging during exercise and other activities where motion and continuous scanning is crucial. It’s the first wireless dynamic ultrasound imaging solution for researchers in sports medicine, rehabilitation, and other related areas.
These two in combination allow us to explore a lot of different possibilities, whether it’s outside the lab or with more dynamic sports,” says Corey Grozier, a graduate student at Michigan State University researching the effects of ACL reconstruction on surrounding anatomy. “Typically we’d be confined to just walking, and now we can do things like running. We might be able to do some more jump landings and more activation of muscles ….”
