Article Synopsis
- - The study compared two groups of participants from a musculoskeletal ultrasound course: one that attended in-person classes and another that took the course online due to COVID-19 restrictions.
- - Both groups completed similar amounts of homework and had comparable quality in their submitted ultrasound images, with no significant differences in outcomes or satisfaction levels.
- - The findings suggest that online learning for this specific course was as effective as in-person training, indicating its potential as a viable educational method even after the pandemic.
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is commonly characterized by joint space narrowing. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) provides unparalleled visualization and quantification of joint space in extremity joints commonly affected by RA, such as the 2nd and 3rd metacarpophalangeal joints. However, age, sex, and obesity can also influence joint space narrowing.
