Wearable technologies are often indicated as tools that can enable the in-field collection of quantitative biomechanical data, unobtrusively, for extended periods of time, and with few spatial limitations. Despite many claims about their potential for impact in the area of injury prevention and management, there seems to be little attention to grounding this potential in biomechanical research linking quantities from wearables to musculoskeletal injuries, and to assessing the readiness of these biomechanical approaches for being implemented in real practice. We performed a systematic scoping review to characterise and critically analyse the state of the art of research using wearable technologies to study musculoskeletal injuries in sport from a biomechanical perspective. A total of 4952 articles were retrieved from the Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases; 165 were included. Multiple study features-such as research design, scope, experimental settings, and applied context-were summarised and assessed. We also proposed an injury-research readiness classification tool to gauge the maturity of biomechanical approaches using wearables. Five main conclusions emerged from this review, which we used as a springboard to propose guidelines and good practices for future research and dissemination in the field.
可穿戴技术通常被认为是一种工具，它可以在现场收集定量的生物力学数据，并且可以长时间、几乎不受空间限制地进行非侵入式收集。尽管有很多关于它们在伤害预防和管理领域的潜在影响的说法，但似乎很少有人关注将这种潜力建立在将可穿戴设备的数量与肌肉骨骼损伤联系起来的生物力学研究基础上，也很少有人关注评估这些生物力学方法在实际应用中的准备情况。我们进行了一项系统的范围综述，从生物力学角度描述和批判性分析了使用可穿戴技术研究运动中肌肉骨骼损伤的研究现状。从 Web of Science、Scopus 和 PubMed 数据库中总共检索到 4952 篇文章，其中包括 165 篇文章。总结和评估了多个研究特征，如研究设计、范围、实验设置和应用背景。我们还提出了一种伤害研究准备程度分类工具，以评估使用可穿戴设备的生物力学方法的成熟度。从这次审查中得出了五个主要结论，我们以此为基础，提出了该领域未来研究和传播的指南和良好实践。
