Background Despite the acceptance of residential MDT rehabilitation in UK military, there is no evidence supporting its use management non-arthritic hip pain (NAHP). This study compared effects a care programme with physiotherapy led outpatient treatment on clinical outcomes military personnel NAHP. Methods was single-blind, parallel group RCT. (N=87, 11 female), mean age 31 yrs (SD 7.1) were randomly allocated to receive: (1) 7-day course or, (2) conventional care. The primary (visual...
Muscle atrophy, muscle weakness and localised pain are commonly reported following musculoskeletal injury (MSKI). To mitigate this risk prepare individuals to return sport or physically demanding occupations, resistance training (RT) is considered a vital component of rehabilitation. However, elicit adaptations in strength, exercise guidelines recommend lifting loads ≥ 70% an individual's one repetition maximum (1-RM). Unfortunately, with persistent knee often unable tolerate such high may...
Objective outcome measures that can quantify the force generating capacity of lower limb are required to allow clinicians accurately measure functional status and treatment adaptations over time. The aim this prospective observational cohort study is to: (1) evaluate acceptability isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) test as a strength with military personnel undergoing residential hip pain rehabilitation; (2) compare peak values recorded against updated Army physical employment standards (PES)...
Introduction Despite the high prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries, there is a shortage data quantifying risk factors attributable to cumulative occupational demands among UK Military personnel. We developed new comprehensive questionnaire that examines and operational physical loading during military service. The aim this study was examine test–retest reliability Physical Loading Questionnaire (MPLQ). Methods Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used evaluate (4-week interval)...
Lower-limb musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) is associated with a considerable economic and operational cost to the UK Ministry of Defence. To ensure force readiness British Armed Forces, strategies that increase potential for adaptations in muscle strength following MSKI are crucial
Hip and groin related pain is a common complaint among the military population across UK Defence Rehabilitation addressing associated biomechanical dysfunction key treatment goal. Personnel are exposed to complex occupational loads, therefore assessing movement during demanding tasks may expose deficits. Observing clinical outcomes in response an important consideration. The aims were examine prior (T1) 12 weeks post (T2) inpatient rehabilitation explore influence of pathological...
