Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: Aim: To evaluate the effect of ultrasound-assisted shoulder anatomy training on anatomical knowledge, palpation accuracy, and knowledge retention among physiotherapists.Materials and Methods: Fifty licensed physiotherapists without prior musculoskeletal ultrasound training completed a 16-hour ultrasound-assisted training program. Anatomical knowledge, location identification, and palpation accuracy were assessed before and after training using a standardized protocol and a 4-point scale (0–3). Learning styles were determined using the VARK questionnaire.Results: Significant improvements were observed in all outcomes (p
