Musculoskeletal Injuries

A Multicenter Randomized, Double-Blind, Split-Side, Comparative Study of Moisturizer Containing MAS064D and 1% Hydrocortisone Cream in the Treatment of Infantile Seborrheic Dermatitis

“…Furthermore, association between frequency, duration and total amount of injuries is reported whilst disproportional increments in MSKI incidence have been found past a critical but as yet undefined point of loading [33]. However, the reduction in incidence of these high impact activities as an identifiable cause of MSKI is notable for the OMEGA cohort and it is proposed in part as a result of the OMEGA training programme which progressively introduced the recruits to high impact loading activity.…”

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated a dose-response relationship between high impact activity and injury with incidence increasing until a critical point at which MSKI then increase disproportionately [8,29,33]. Consequently, consideration of content and delivery of physical training was fundamental to OMEGA.…”

“…The programming of military physical training is critical to readiness but equally responsible for high injury incidence while physical activity itself has been identified as the largest and most severe health problem for the U.S Army and the one with the greatest possibility for prevention success [13,32,33]. Numerous studies have demonstrated a dose-response relationship between high impact activity and injury with incidence increasing until a critical point at which MSKI then increase disproportionately [8,29,33].…”

Records Review of Musculoskeletal Injuries in Aeromedical Evacuation Personnel

“…28 These data, containing primary ICD-9 diagnosis codes, were linked to the subject by a random number (assigned by data owners) so de-identified data could be provided to the study investigators. The ICD-9 codes of interest were used to determine the incidence of MSIs within the test and control groups and were based on the Barell matrix as modified by Hauret et al 6,29 An occurrence was based on primary ICD-9 codes and included duplicates for different conditions in the same year (i.e., if one subject had a primary diagnosis of a shoulder condition during one visit and a primary diagnosis of an ankle injury during another visit, each condition would be reported). However, an occurrence did not include individuals with multiple visits with the same diagnosis in the same year.…”

“…In AE, ergonomic risk factors that increase the likelihood of MSI include awkward postures, excessive force, and vibrations. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Ergonomic challenges are likely to arise during AE tasks in the following categories: aircraft configuration, patient loading, patient care during flight, and patient unloading. Each of these categories brings about unique challenges often linked to a specific type of aircraft.…”
