Overuse Injury Assessment Model

Abstract

This report describes the first year's progress towards the development of a bone stress fracture model. A literature review was conducted to determine the current state of research and develop regression equations to estimate necessary gait parameters. U.S. Marine Corps Basic Training recruit and regime data was acquired and organized for input into a model. The initial stress fracture algorithm was based on a theoretical model published in the literature that accounts for micro- and macro-crack growth.
