Achilles tendinopathy is one of the most common overuse injuries in recreational and competitive runners, yet the clinical significance and frequency of abnormal sonographic characteristics in runners remains unclear. This paper presents a protocol for a systematic review which aims to assess existing literature which has employed ultrasonography to evaluate characteristics of the mid-portion of the Achilles tendon in runners.
An electronic literature search will be conducted using the following electronic databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL and SPORTDiscus. Studies published in English will be included if they evaluate ultrasound characteristics associated with mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy in runners. Methodological quality will be assessed using a scale adapted from the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.
This will be the first systematic review to summarise the existing evidence on ultrasound characteristics of the mid-portion of the Achilles tendon in recreational runners.

跟腱病是业余和职业跑步者中最常见的过度使用损伤之一,但跑步者超声特征异常的临床意义和频率仍不明确。本文提出一项系统评价方案,旨在评估现有利用超声检查评估跑步者跟腱中部特征的文献。
将使用以下电子数据库进行电子文献检索:医学文献数据库(MEDLINE)、护理学与健康领域数据库(CINAHL)和体育科学数据库(SPORTDiscus)。如果研究评估了与跑步者跟腱中部病变相关的超声特征,则纳入以英文发表的研究。将使用改编自纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表的量表评估方法学质量。
这将是第一项系统评价,总结业余跑步者跟腱中部超声特征的现有证据。
