A Pilot Study Schweim, Jarrett Joshua Biomedical Research Functional Assessment Prediction of Injury Injury Incidence <p>Problem: There is a lack of validated tools to predict injuries in competitive athletes. The identification of these tools would be a useful resource in identifying those at risk, and may serve as a basis for prophylactic programs to reduce these risks.</p><p>Methods: Fifteen incoming freshmen football players completed functional assessment testing prior to the 2008 season. Time loss injury was tracked across the season. The dependent variable in this study is the presence of injury that results in a limitation of activity (time loss). The independent variables in this study are the twelve functional assessment tests, which include: ankle mobility (soleus flexibility), gastrocnemius flexibility, straight-leg raise test (hamstring flexibility), modified Thomas Test, hip internal rotation (IR) & external rotation (ER), single-legged squat, prone hip extension, supine bridge, hurdle-step, overhead stick squat, and the double-leg box drop landing. Statistical evaluation was performed to determine if any set of functional assessment tests was able to predict the presence of time loss injury or the number of days lost. </p><p>Results: While there was a very weak ability to predict the presence of injury, there was no ability to predict the number of practices lost. The overall lack of statistical power that resulted from the very small number of subjects severely limited the predictive ability of the study.</p><p>Conclusion: Additional testing must be conducted, with more subjects, and more injury data must be collected.</p> 2009-09-01 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1243851951 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1243851951 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
