Pre- and Post-neuromusculoskeletal Injury Risk Evaluation for Return-to-Duty Enhancement (NCT05111925)
Pre-neuromusculoskeletal Injury Risk Factor Evaluation and Post-neuromusculoskeletal Injury Assessment for Return-to-duty/Activity Enhancement
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
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.
