Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using ultrasound to verify the placement of narrow-gauge dry needles within the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles utilizing palpation-based dry needle techniques.
UNASSIGNED: This is a prospective observational study with 10 participants recruited. Each participant had a dry needle placed within the infraspinatus and supraspinatus muscles by a trained physical therapist utilizing palpation-based methods. Following needle placement, ultrasound examination was then performed to determine the feasibility of needle tip visualization within the targeted tissues.
UNASSIGNED: The needle tip was successfully visualized on ultrasound in 19/20 cases. The needle tip accurately resided in the targeted muscle tissue in each of the 19 cases it was successfully visualized.
UNASSIGNED: Narrow-gauge dry needles used in physical therapy practice can be consistently visualized in the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles using ultrasound imaging. Also, the palpation method utilized is an accurate means of guiding dry needles into the targeted rotator cuff muscles. These are significant findings because most physical therapy clinics do not have the benefit of real-time imaging guidance and must rely solely on palpation-based needling methods.

摘要：
■这项研究的主要目的是研究利用基于触诊的干针技术，使用超声来验证窄径干针在冈上肌和冈下肌内的放置的可行性。
■这是一项前瞻性观察性研究，招募了10名参与者。每位参与者都由训练有素的物理治疗师利用基于触诊的方法在冈下肌和冈上肌中放置了干针。针头放置后，然后进行超声检查以确定目标组织内针尖可视化的可行性。
■在19/20例病例中，针尖在超声上成功可视化。在成功可视化的19例中，针尖准确地位于目标肌肉组织中。
■在物理治疗实践中使用的窄规格干针可以使用超声成像在冈上肌和冈下肌中始终可视化。此外，使用的触诊方法是将干针引导到目标肩袖肌肉中的准确手段。这些是重要的发现，因为大多数物理治疗诊所都没有实时成像指导的好处，并且必须仅依靠基于触诊的针刺方法。
