Descriptive Epidemiology of Musculoskeletal Injuries Presenting to an Embedded Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) Team in a United States Army Stryker Brigade, October 2021-September 2022

These findings are consistent with the a priori expectation that embedded providers and the H2F system expedited access to MSKI evaluation and treatment. A strength of this study was our ability to estimate MSKI incidence rates and characterize MSKI evaluated in the H2F environment using a novel injury tracker coupled with administrative data. A limitation is that because of data deidentification, we could not measure cumulative time-loss. This descriptive observational study will help inform the findings of subsequent research on the effect of H2F implementation on MSKI outcomes.

Abstract

These findings are consistent with the a priori expectation that embedded providers and the H2F system expedited access to MSKI evaluation and treatment. A strength of this study was our ability to estimate MSKI incidence rates and characterize MSKI evaluated in the H2F environment using a novel injury tracker coupled with administrative data. A limitation is that because of data deidentification, we could not measure cumulative time-loss. This descriptive observational study will help inform the findings of subsequent research on the effect of H2F implementation on MSKI outcomes.
