Musculoskeletal Complaints Among Active Duty Service Members Seeking Treatment at a Navy Military Treatment Facility.

Introduction: Musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) pose a significant problem for active duty service members (ADSMs). MSIs may compromise readiness and are one of the main reasons for separation from the Navy and long-term disability. Implementation of optimal treatment strategies rests on understanding the characteristics of MSI complaints in a given population.

Psychological Risk Factors for Delayed Recovery Among Active Duty Service Members Seeking Treatment for Musculoskeletal Complaints at a Navy Shore-Based Military Medical Treatment Facility.

Protocol for the Implementation of Psychologically Informed Physical Therapy to Prevent Chronification in Service Members With Musculoskeletal Disorders.

Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a primary cause of separation and long-term disability in active duty service members (ADSMs). Psychologically informed physical therapy (PiPT) is designed to identify and address modifiable psychological risk factors early in an MSD episode and has been proven effective in preventing chronicity in civilian populations. We developed a course to train military physical therapy (PT) personnel in PiPT for treating ADSM with MSD.

Patterns of Home and School Behavior Problems in Rural and Urban Settings.

This study examined the cross-situational patterns of behavior problems shown by children in rural and urban communities at school entry. Behavior problems exhibited in home settings were not expected to vary significantly across urban and rural settings. In contrast, it was anticipated that child behavior at school would be heavily influenced by the increased exposure to aggressive models and deviant peer support experienced by children in urban as compared to rural schools, leading to higher rates of school conduct problems for children in urban settings.
