Systematic reviews of sports physiotherapy

Abstract

To clarify the evidence in the field of sports physiotherapy, we selected and analyzed 76 systematic reviews of sports physiotherapy published since 2000. Reports on, knees and shins (n=26), ankles and feet (n=20) were greater in number than other body parts, while pain, weakness, and motor tolerance were common topics. As physical therapy interventions, stretching, mobilization, massage, muscle strengthening, orthosis, taping, splint and physical medicine were common themes.
