Abstract

Problem- Injuries are a major issue in the military. Time loss from duty costs the military millions every year. In order to mitigate this issue, there should be a protocol in place to screen those at risk for injury and then be put into an intervention. Strategy-I researched the FMS, SFMA, and COL Teyhen’s Ranger Screen to discuss which movement screen would be beneficial to identify poor movement patterns that may eventually lead injury. I also looked at injury categories to put soldiers in to help decide how to classify an injury and which step in the rehabilitation process they need to be. I also discuss how soldiers move up through the injury categories. Conclusion-This project has set forth the leg work to complete future screening protocols to mitigate injury risk for the soldier. It has also set forth criteria for those categorized at risk to be classified into injury groups to attend rehabilitation classes to set the soldier up for success in the unit.
