Reducing Injuries with Training Enhancement, Targeted Rehabilitation, and Core Conditioning (RITE TRACC)
Abstract
Our primary research objective is to develop predictive models and an accompanying injury prevention curriculum for lower extremity musculoskeletal injury (LE MSK-I) and successful return to duty in a training Marine population at the School of Infantry-West at Camp Pendleton (SOI-West). Non-combat related musculoskeletal injury (MSK-I) is the largest threat to military health and accounts for over 20% of outpatient visits in the active duty population. Reducing physical training-related MSK-I has been identified as a top priority within the military. Almost 40% of MSK-I sustained from military training and sport related activities are sprains/strains and overuse injuries (e.g. medial tibial stress syndrome, stress fracture) of the lower extremity. Recent studies have identified a broad range of LE MSK-I risk factors in military and athletic populations, including movement patterns, psychological readiness, lifestyle behaviors, physical fitness, and injury history, many of which can be modified with targeted interventions.
