Injury occurrence and prevent in basic combat training and one station unit training
An on-going project in conjunction with the Warrior Athletic Training Program to assess injury epidemiology and to develop and test injury prevention programs.
Prevention of acute ankle injuries in basic combat training
A new project using pre-habilitation as prevention for acute ankle injury.
Load carriage adaptations with basic infantry gear
Assessing the biomechanical changes in adaptation to donning of infantry gear and associated pre-disposal for lower extremity injury.
Factors that influence spinal health in mounted and dismounted Warfighers
A multi-phase, multi-year DOD project assessing of forces in mounted and dismounted Warfighters, physiological changes, adaptations and interventions for prevention.
Physiological and anatomical lower extremity effects of long-term flight in rotary- winged pilots
A multi-phase, multi-year DOD project assessing the cause of complaints of lower extremity issues in rotary-wing pilots.
Gait training and intervention
The Gait Instruction and Mentoring Program was developed to quickly assess running gait for all new Trainees and provide feedback for improvement. Fully implemented.
Individualized adaptive technologies for wounded warriors
A collaborative project with Auburn University’s Center for Disability Research and Service – Assistive Technology and Innovation, and industrial design graduate students in developing individualized adaptive technologies for wounded warriors.
A comparison of injury types and occurrence rates in Army ROTC Cadets and Army basic training recruits
Is there a difference in physical fitness levels, injury rates or injury types between Army ROTC Cadets and basic trainees? Does the longer time-line of a Cadet program mitigate common injuries?
Factors influencing and prevention interventions for femoral neck stress fracture (FNSF) in basic combat training and one station unit training
FNSF’s are a serious problem in basic training Soldiers around the world. This project tracks in incidence rate, influencing factors, and possible prevention interventions for this serious injury.
Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills, Physical Training, and other motion analysis
Analysis of movement and performance optimization for many of the daily Warrior tasks to prevent injury and optimize performance
