Resumen
El estudio evaluó el conocimiento y práctica de la prevención de lesiones deportivas entre profesionales de la medicina deportiva en Europa occidental.
Se encontró que aunque la mayoría de los encuestados consideraron la prevención de lesiones como importante, solo el 54% estaba familiarizado con programas específicos de prevención de lesiones.
Además, se identificaron barreras como falta de experiencia, apoyo del personal y tiempo.
Los resultados sugieren que hay una falta de conciencia sobre la prevención de lesiones entre los profesionales de la medicina deportiva en Europa occidental.
Como fisioterapeuta, es importante estar informado sobre los programas de prevención de lesiones y trabajar para superar las barreras identificadas para ayudar a prevenir lesiones en los atletas.

Un reciente artículo evidencia la falta de conocimiento en prevención de lesiones deportivas entre profesionales y pacientes. Es crucial que las clínicas de fisioterapia trabajen en la mejora de la percepción, el conocimiento y la práctica en este ámbito, proporcionando a los fisioterapeutas las herramientas necesarias para enfrentar este desafío.
Abstract original
The awareness of injury prevention programmes is insufficient among French- and German-speaking sports medicine communities in Europe
Purpose: Evaluate the current state of sports injury prevention perception, knowledge and practice among sports medicine professionals located in Western Europe and involved in injury prevention.
Methods: Members of two different sports medicine organizations (GOTS and ReFORM) were invited to complete a web-based questionnaire (in German and in French, respectively) addressing perception, knowledge and implementation of sports injury prevention through 22 questions.
Results: 766 participants from a dozen of countries completed the survey. Among them, 43% were surgeons, 23% sport physicians and 18% physiotherapists working mainly in France (38%), Germany (23%) and Belgium (10%). The sample rated the importance of injury prevention as "high" or "very high" in a majority of cases (91%), but only 54% reported to be aware of specific injury prevention programmes. The French-speaking world was characterized by lower levels of reported knowledge, unfamiliarity with existing prevention programmes and less weekly time spent on prevention as compared to their German-speaking counterparts. Injury prevention barriers reported by the respondents included mainly insufficient expertise, absence of staff support from sports organizations and lack of time.
Conclusion: There is a lack of awareness regarding injury prevention concepts among sports medicine professionals of the European French- and German-speaking world. This gap varied according to the professional occupation and working country. Relevant future paths for improvement include specific efforts to build awareness around sports injury prevention.
Level of evidence: Level IV.
