Point of care ultrasonography (POCUS) is a non-ionizing imaging technique that is emerging in physiotherapy practice.
To systematically map the research literature on physiotherapist performed POCUS.
Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, OVID Medline, CINAHL, AMED, and EMBASE were searched.
Peer-reviewed publications of physiotherapist performed POCUS were included.
Data collected included: title, author(s), journal, year of publication, design of included studies, sample size, age category of the sample, anatomical area of POCUS, geographical location of research, study setting, and disease condition/patient population. Data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics for the key characteristics of each research question.
A total of 18 217 titles and abstracts and 1 372 full-text citations were screened, with 209 studies included. Most included studies were measurement studies that assessed the psychometric properties of POCUS in adult patients, were published in the United States of America and imaged the abdominal lumbo-pelvic region. Eighty-two percent of studies were published in the last 10 years.
Non-English language, review articles and grey literature were excluded for feasibility. Studies were excluded if it was not clearly reported that a physiotherapist performed the POCUS.
This review identified a wide variety of practice settings and a diverse number of patient conditions in which physiotherapists are performing POCUS. This breadth and depth of this review highlighted the need for improved reporting of study methodology and key areas of future research in physiotherapy performed POCUS. CONTRIBUTION OF THE PAPER.
床旁超声检查（POCUS）是一种非电离成像技术，正在物理治疗实践中兴起。
系统梳理关于物理治疗师进行床旁超声检查的研究文献。
遵循PRISMA-ScR指南，检索了OVID Medline、CINAHL、AMED和EMBASE。
纳入物理治疗师进行床旁超声检查的同行评审出版物。
收集的数据包括：标题、作者、期刊、出版年份、纳入研究的设计、样本量、样本的年龄类别、床旁超声检查的解剖区域、研究的地理位置、研究环境以及疾病状况/患者群体。数据分析包括对每个研究问题关键特征的描述性统计。
共筛选了18217个标题和摘要以及1372篇全文引用文献，纳入了209项研究。大多数纳入研究是测量研究，评估了成人患者床旁超声检查的心理测量特性，发表于美国，成像部位为腹部腰盆腔区域。82%的研究发表于过去10年。
为可行性起见，排除了非英语语言文献、综述文章和灰色文献。如果未明确报告是物理治疗师进行的床旁超声检查，则排除相关研究。
本综述确定了物理治疗师进行床旁超声检查的多种实践环境和不同患者情况。本综述的广度和深度凸显了改善物理治疗师进行床旁超声检查研究方法报告以及未来研究关键领域的必要性。论文的贡献。
