Article Synopsis
- * Out of 160 participants, 36% reported experiencing 78 MSI, with significant factors including heavy loads, prolonged carrying of gear, and strenuous lifting activities increasing injury risk.
- * The findings suggest that heavier equipment and frequent lifting elevate the likelihood of MSI, while better performance in sit-ups before deployment appears to lower that risk.
Each year musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) result in thousands of lost duty days and medical discharges. Women represent 15% of the Army and have higher incidence of injury than male soldiers; studies that have investigated MSIs in deployed women are lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective cohort study was to investigate MSIs in women during a 9-month deployment to Afghanistan.

AN and BN are serious disorders with significant psychiatric and medical morbidity. Data support the use of family treatments for adolescents with eating disorders.

Methods: The authors conducted a cross-sectional analysis of baseline information from adolescents seeking treatment of disordered eating at The University of Chicago. Adolescents (N = 373) aged 12 to 18 years (mean = 15.
Static foot posture associated with dynamic plantar pressure parameters.

February 2011
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the links between foot posture index (FPI-6) scores and dynamic plantar pressure measurements, using a sample of 1000 active adults.
- The FPI-6, which assesses foot posture through 6 observations, reveals that most participants had pronated feet, with few showing signs of supination, suggesting potential injury risks in diverse foot types.
- A statistically significant model was created to relate FPI-6 scores and dynamic pressures, indicating a need for adjusted measures when identifying supinated feet among individuals.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if early weight gain predicted remission at the end of treatment in a clinic sample of adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN).
Method: Sixty five adolescents with AN (mean age = 14.9 years, SD = 2.
