Protocol for the Implementation of Psychologically Informed Physical Therapy to Prevent Chronification in Service Members With Musculoskeletal Disorders
Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a primary cause of separation and long-term disability in active duty service members (ADSMs). Psychologically informed physical therapy (PiPT) is designed to identify and address modifiable psychological risk factors early in an MSD episode and has been proven effective in preventing chronicity in civilian populations. We developed a course to train military physical therapy (PT) personnel in PiPT for treating ADSM with MSD. This study tests the feasibility and effectiveness of our training.
