Comparison of Abdominal Aorta Palpation With Point of Care Ultrasound Imaging Measurements in Healthy Individuals
The goal of this observational study is to compare the measurements of abdominal aorta width via palpation and point of care ultrasound imaging in healthy individuals. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:
* Is there a measurement difference in abdominal aorta width in healthy individuals as measured by palpation and point of care ultrasound imaging? * Are palpation measurements and point of care ultrasound imaging measurements reliable when performed by physical therapy researchers? Participants will be asked to have their abdominal area be palpated around the umbilicus and will have ultrasound imaging performed over their abdominal aorta area. It is anticipated participation in the study will take less than 15 minutes. Subjects will be asked to return for a repeat visit within 1 month to determine reliability of measurements.
Inclusion: Healthy adults > 18 years of age.
Exclusion: History of abdominal aortic aneurysm; Individuals that are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
