Diagnosis and prognosis for exercise-induced muscle injuries: from conventional imaging to emerging point-of-care testing

摘要: With the development of modern society, we have witnessed a significant increase people who join in sport exercises, which also brings significantly increasing exercise-induced muscle injuries, resulting reduction and even cessation participation sports physical activities. Although severely injured muscles can hardly realize full functional restoration, skeletal subjected to minor injuries (e.g., tears, lacerations, contusions) hold remarkable regeneration capacity be healed without therapeutic interventions. However, delayed diagnosis or inappropriate prognosis will cause exacerbation injuries. Therefore, timely is important recovery muscles. Here, this review, discuss definition classification then analyze their underlying mechanism. Subsequently, provide detailed introductions both conventional emerging techniques for evaluation with focus on portable wearable devices point-of-care testing (POCT). Finally, point out existing challenges prospects field. We envision that an integrated system combines physiological biochemical analyses anticipated realized future assessing
