Pre- and Post-neuromusculoskeletal Injury Risk Evaluation for Return-to-Duty Enhancement
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Musculoskeletal Injuries
In brief
The purpose of this study is to develop comprehensive and efficient pre- and post- musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) risk assessments for Service members, incorporating both objective and subjective measures. This is a multi-site observational study to identify the pre- and post-MSKI physical and psychosocial factors contributing to MSKI risks and undesired patient outcomes following MSKI. The study hypothesis is that a set of field-expedient clinical assessments can identify Service member specific MSKI risk factors and post-MSKI deficits that contribute to undesired patient outcomes and provide data to guide patient-specific risk mitigation and rehabilitation programs.
