Philosophical conception of the performance of professionals for the ultrasonographic evaluation of musculoskeletal conditions

Abstract

The Dialectical Materialist philosophical support identifies man as an active social force, which transforms and changes the environment by improving it through the application of its knowledge. In Cuba, the improvement of human resources occupies an important place in the National Health System, due to its strategic importance. Musculoskeletal ultrasonography is of great diagnostic and therapeutic utility in pathologies of the osteomyoarticular system. Muscular-skeletal conditions are a frequent cause of physiatric consultation, in search of an accurate diagnosis and immediate medical-rehabilitative treatment. To guarantee patient safety, in ecological practice it is important to systematize or standardize joint examinations so as not to forget any anatomical structure and thus avoid the operator-dependent effect. The objective of this work is to identify philosophical aspects of the performance of professionals for the ultrasonographic evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders. Today's society is characterized by an emphasis on technology, and this imperceptibly leads to dehumanization. The medical care must be based, in a special way, on humanistic training. Professionals who perform imaging diagnoses, especially those who perform ultrasonographic evaluation of muscular-skeletal conditions, must know, know how to do and be, when executing technological procedures, from an integrative vision, in order to respond to health situations. The transition from the abstract to the concrete is evidenced by allowing to express the dialectical contradictions that condition the improvement of professional performance as a general aspect and the professional physical preparation for the execution of imaging procedures as a particular aspect.
