Online Course Resource: Writing a Paper (Module 3)-Sentences
In this module, we present a resource on the construction of effective sentences. Effective sentences add value to the message of a manuscript. Effective sentences build on a strong relation between words.
Online Course Resource: Writing a Paper (Module 2)-Words
In the previous module, we looked at the basic pillars of good writing. In this module, we share a presentation on a basic building block of good papers- the use of appropriate words appropriately.
Online Course Resource: Writing a paper (Module 1)-Pillars of Good Writing
Sharing a presentation that lays out the pillars of good writing as part of the online course resource on writing a scientific paper.
Online Course Resource: Writing a Healthcare Research Paper
Sharing a learning resource focused on writing a healthcare research paper. This is a modular resource that is self paced and meant for self improvement. We will share one module each week.
The material is developed and shared as an open access resource by the Research Action Group (RAG) of AMMA Education and Research Foundation (https://ammaerf.in/), a unit of Annie Mathew Memorial Associated (AMMA) Center for Diagnostic and Preventive Medicine, Kochi, Kerala, India.

Abstract
The use of brightness-mode ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound in physical medicine and rehabilitation has increased dramatically. The continuing evolution of ultrasound technology has also produced ultrasound elastography, a cutting-edge technology that can directly measure the mechanical properties of tissue, including muscle stiffness. Its real-time and direct measurements of muscle stiffness can aid the diagnosis and rehabilitation of acute musculoskeletal injuries and chronic myofascial pain. It can also help monitor outcomes of interventions affecting muscle in neuromuscular and musculoskeletal diseases, and it can better inform the functional prognosis. This technology has implications for even broader use of ultrasound in physical medicine and rehabilitation practice, but more knowledge about its uses and limitations is essential to its appropriate clinical implementation. In this review, we describe different ultrasound elastography techniques for studying muscle stiffness, including strain elastography, acoustic radiation force impulse imaging, and shear-wave elastography. We discuss the basic principles of these techniques, including the strengths and limitations of their measurement capabilities. We review the current muscle research, discuss physiatric clinical applications of these techniques, and note directions for future research.
