Abstract
The use of therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) in sports science, medicine and rehabilitation has increased significantly in the last decade. This growth has been accompanied by a great scientific interest for the study of responses during injury treatment and the finding of optimal dosage. Therefore, the purpose of this narrative review was to explore the knowledge reported to date on the use of TUS and the methodological considerations when applying it in sport injury assessment. An electronic search (PubMed [MEDLINE], Science Direct [EMBASE], Web of Science [WoS], and Google Scholar) was conducted following systematic review guidelines (PRISMA) and including only systematic reviews about TUS application in sports. The result of this review is the presentation of some methodological considerations when using TUS in sport practice, giving a general guidance for it safety use, efficiency and effectiveness considering the need to rapidly recover from injuries in sports.
