Rehabilitation following knee injury or surgery is critical for recovery of function and independence. However, patient non-adherence remains a significant barrier to success. Remote rehabilitation using mobile health (mHealth) technologies have potential improving adherence execution home exercise. We developed remote management system combining two wireless inertial measurement units (IMUs) with an interactive application web-based clinician portal (interACTION). in order translate...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to explore associations between the utilization active, passive, and manual therapy interventions for low back pain (LBP) with 1-year escalation-of-care events, including opioid prescriptions, spinal injections, specialty care visits, hospitalizations. Methods This a retrospective cohort 4827 patients identified via Military Health System Data Repository who received physical therapist LBP in 4 outpatient clinics January 1, 2015 2018. One-year...
Lateral ankle sprains (LASs) are common injuries among military service members. Approximately 40% of individuals with an LAS progress to develop chronic instability (CAI), a condition that results in substantial mechanical and neurophysiological impairment activity limitation. Since proprioceptive balance training improve functional outcomes prevent secondary injury following LAS, they recommended clinical practice. Uneven treadmills innovative modality challenge the sensorimotor system...
ABSTRACT Military service members (SMs) demonstrate high rates of patellofemoral chondral defects (PFCDs) that are difficult to diagnosis and, if untreated, result in a cascade events eventually leading osteoarthritis. Running is an essential occupational task for SMs; however, there little evidence regarding techniques maintain running ability individuals with cartilage defects. The purpose this case series was assess the clinical application foot strike run retraining patients PFCDs. This...
ABSTRACT Introduction Running-related injuries are prevalent in the military and often related to physical fitness test training. Non-rearfoot striking while running is known increase risk of Achilles tendon because high eccentric energy absorption by elastic components planarflexor muscle-tendon complex. However, there limited evidence suggest benefits converting runners with pain use a rearfoot strike. Methods This case series two active-duty Service members chronic, running-related that...
