August 2007;87:986-994) of no direct correlation between physical therapist use of ultrasound and year of graduation. ALSO: How much emphasis should be placed on the application of ultrasound—and other physical modalities—in professional physical therapist education programs? And what are future directions for ultrasound and modality use in physical therapist practice?
