BACKGROUND: The purpose of our study was two-fold. First, it was to discover American professional sports athletic trainers' (PSAT) use and opinions regarding the treatment with a small, portable ultrasound Sustained Acoustic Medicine (SAM) device on their athletes. Second, it was to discover the effectiveness of SAM treatment in their professional sports players (PSP). METHODS: There were two ways of collecting data from the PSATs. The first was by written survey. Questions included qualitative and quantitative feedback on SAM device use, clinical applications, and acceptance among PSP. The second part involved a panel discussion of four PSATs, who shared their personal experiences with SAM. Questions focused on the use of the technology, confidence level, manner of application, and communication with PSPs regarding the application of the SAM and recommended treatment protocols. RESULTS: The survey found that SAM is wearable, easy to use, comfortable, and that it can be used as a "go-to" device outside of the athletic training facility. PSATs reported an 87% satisfaction and increased confidence in the ability of SAM to accelerate the healing process. Thus, SAM was considered a recommended treatment for professional athletes to use as an adjunct therapy. PSATs agreed that SAM is one of the recommended choices as an adjunct therapy in multiple musculoskeletal injuries. CONCLUSIONS: The survey and panel discussion concluded that SAM treatment is easy to use with no adverse effects and can be used at multiple stages of the healing process. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.
背景:我们研究的目的有两个。其一,是了解美国职业体育的运动训练师(PSAT)对其运动员使用小型便携式超声持续声学医学(SAM)设备进行治疗的情况及看法。其二,是了解SAM治疗对其职业体育运动员(PSP)的有效性。 方法:从PSAT收集数据有两种方式。第一种是书面调查。问题包括关于SAM设备使用、临床应用以及PSP接受程度的定性和定量反馈。第二部分涉及由四名PSAT进行的小组讨论,他们分享了自己使用SAM的个人经历。问题集中在该技术的使用、信心水平、应用方式以及就SAM的应用和推荐治疗方案与PSP的沟通。 结果:调查发现SAM可穿戴、易于使用、舒适,并且可以在运动训练设施之外作为“首选”设备使用。PSAT报告称满意度为87%,并且对SAM加速愈合过程的能力更有信心。因此,SAM被认为是职业运动员可作为辅助治疗使用的推荐疗法。PSAT一致认为SAM是多种肌肉骨骼损伤辅助治疗的推荐选择之一。 结论:调查和小组讨论得出结论,SAM治疗易于使用且无不良影响,可在愈合过程的多个阶段使用。 证据水平:四级。
