Cross-sectional study design.To characterize changes in muscle thickness the transversus abdominis (TrA) and internal oblique (IO) muscles during common trunk-strengthening exercises, to determine whether these differ based on age.Although exercises have been found be useful treating those with low back pain (LBP), our understanding of relative responses TrA IO different is limited.Six commonly prescribed were performed by 120 subjects (40 per age group: 18-30, 31-40, 41-50 years)....
Musculoskeletal injury is a significant threat to readiness in the US Army. Current surveillance methods are constrained by accurate reporting. Input into electronic medical records or databases therefore may not accurately reflect incidence. The purpose of this study was evaluate reporting among active-duty Army soldiers explore potential limitations approaches.A number injuries go unreported personnel.Cross-sectional study.Level 4.Surveys were completed assigned an Infantry Brigade Combat...
Musculoskeletal injuries (MSKIs) pose a significant threat to military readiness and are difficult monitor due Soldiers' reluctance seek medical treatment. There is high risk of developing MSKIs while going through initial entry training (IET), many which go unreported. The purposes this study were identify the contributing factors that influence US Army trainees not care for self-reported symptoms musculoskeletal injury (SMSKI) establish how those may differ by sex, school, installation...
<ns3:p>Background The objective was to summarize the methodology used develop international minimum data elements for surveillance and Reporting of Musculoskeletal Injuries in MILitary (ROMMIL) statement. This is a recommended list be collected reported when conducting injury research military settings. Methods A Delphi employed reach consensus. Preliminary steps included literature review surveying convenience sample stakeholders 1) identify barriers facilitators musculoskeletal (MSKI)...
It is common clinical practice to assess muscle strength during examination of patients following shoulder injury or surgery. Strength comparisons are often made between the patient's injured and uninjured shoulders, with side used as a reference without regard upper extremity dominance. Despite importance measurements, little known about expected normal baselines shoulder. The purpose this study was report normative values for isometric physically active college-age men women history...
To determine the immediate effects of Kinesio taping directed to hip and manipulation lumbopelvic region in individuals with unilateral patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).PFPS affects up 25% general population. Despite high prevalence, this condition is not clearly understood, as evidenced by numerous proposed causes recommended treatments. Notwithstanding, recent evidence suggests that treatments at or spine may lead beneficial results.A convenience sample 18 participants (12 men 6 women,...
This study evaluated the musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) self-reporting behaviors among active-duty Air Force Special Warfare personnel to explore potential limitations of surveillance approaches.Participants completed a 47-item survey between December 2018 and March 2019 regarding their MSKI history. Participants were asked if they sought medical care for symptoms consistent with MSKIs reasons did or not report injuries. Injury reporting rates calculated descriptive statistics rank ordering...
The patient was a 21-year-old man who currently enrolled in military academy. He seen by physical therapist direct-access capacity for chief complaint of right shoulder fatigue and discomfort that present the past week. Due to marked atrophy weakness with no history injury, an orthopaedic surgeon consulted diagnostic imaging requested. Magnetic resonance revealed posterior labral tear large paralabral cyst, likely resulting significant compression suprascapular nerve. J Orthop Sports Phys...
Low back pain (LBP) and lower-extremity injuries (LEI) are primary reasons for lost duty days disability among military populations. Purpose This study examined acute LEI as a risk factor developing LBP the time to incident between individuals with without history of LEI. Methods retrospective cohort U.S. Army medical personnel data from Total Injury Health Outcomes Database years 2007 2011. Andersen–Gill Cox regression methods were used examine change in status over changes demographic...
The objective was to summarize the methodology used reach consensus for recommended minimum data elements that should be collected and reported when conducting injury surveillance research in military settings. This paper summarizes develop international Minimum Data Elements Reporting of Musculoskeletal Injuries MILitary (ROMMIL) statement.
Shoulder instability is a common problem in young athletes and can lead to pain decreased ability participate high-level activities. Little known about the modifiable risk factors for glenohumeral joint instability.Isometric shoulder strength at baseline would be factor associated with subsequent first-time anterior events.Cohort study.Study participants were freshmen entering United States Military Academy June 2006. All completed bilateral isometric evaluations hand-held dynamometer upon...
The patient was a 21-year-old male cadet at military academy who evaluated by physical therapist in direct-access capacity for chief complaint of low back pain that began the previous day after falling directly onto his while snowboarding. Given patient's history trauma, worsening pain, and enlarged soft tissue mass lumbar region, ordered magnetic resonance imaging. findings were consistent with Morel-Lavallée lesion region.
Whereas ankle-foot injuries are ubiquitous and affect ~16% of military service-members, granularity information pertaining to ankle sprain subgroups associated variables is lacking. The purpose this study was characterize contextualize the burden in U.S. Military Health System.
Background: The rotator cuff muscles are critical secondary stabilizers in the shoulder. Increased glenoid retroversion and strength have been associated with risk of posterior shoulder instability; however, effect increased on remains unclear. Purpose/Hypothesis: purpose was to examine association between version a young healthy population no history instability. hypothesis that would be increases muscle strength. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: A...
<h3>Background</h3> Injuries are the primary cause of lost duty in US Military, leading to a widespread focus on, and implementation injury mitigation programs. The effectiveness these programs is often questioned, usually related program fidelity. <h3>Objective</h3> To identify characterize barriers facilitators for implementing military. <h3>Design</h3> A cross-sectional survey study <h3>Setting</h3> Department Defense <h3>Participants</h3> Individuals were stakeholders tasked with...
Soldiers must be able to perform a multitude of physically demanding tasks as part their regular duty, but physical readiness is often degraded due pain and musculoskeletal injury (MSKI). The presence with movement has been associated increased MSKI risk in Soldiers. Improved awareness the prevalence painful movements uninjured could help inform Army mitigation efforts. purpose this study was identify population healthy active duty
