This three\u2010part series aims to bridge this knowledge gap, through investigating SEM and its correlation with evidence\u2010based technologies and assessments. This article focuses on the correlation between SEM and ultrasound. A prospective cohort observational study was undertaken between February and November 2021. Patients undergoing three surgery types were consecutively enrolled to the study following informed consent. Assessments were performed prior to and following surgery for 3\u2009days at the sacrum, both heels and a control site, using a SEM scanner and high\u2010frequency ultrasound scanner (5\u201315\u2009MHz).

A total of 60 participants were included; 50% were male with a mean age of 58\u2009years (\u00b113.46). A statistically significant low to moderately positive correlation was observed between SEM and ultrasound across all anatomical sites (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>\n                      <jats:italic>s<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:sub>\n                    range\u2009=\u20090.39\u20130.54,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
