Abstract
The benefit of ultrasound as a therapeutic element in the physiotherapist’s practice has been widely used. To carry out this therapy it’s necessary to use the equipment of those that are directed to specialists in physical therapy. However, due to the diversity of models and brands, there are many differences in terms of design, which can modify the interaction with the user. The objective of this work is to compare the usability of two therapeutic ultrasound devices used in a University of the Metropolitan Zone of Guadalajara.
