Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical effectiveness of point-of-care diagnostic ultrasound in the assessment of patellar tendon pathologies

Description:

Participants will receive information about the study and informed consent will be provided. Participants will voluntarily agree to be a participant in the study. Participants will sign the informed consent, and complete the POCUS demographic information sheet, if they qualify then they will have both of their patellar tendons examined through the use of the Butterfly IQ diagnostic ultrasound. Following the examination, they will complete the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Patellofemoral subscale (KOOS-PF) and then complete the study.
