Help Fight the #1 Threat to Military Medical Readiness Bone and muscle injuries such as strains, sprains, joint dislocations, and stress fractures have been the #1 health threat to our troops for more than 20 years. These injuries can limit normal physical exercise or work performance, create lost duty or training days, and can cause permanent chronic pain or disabling medical conditions. In 2012 there were 25 million limited or lost military duty days due to this type of injury. The trend continues. Perhaps even more surprising - most of these injuries arent due to wartime operations or even acute traumatic accidents. These injuries often happen due to overuse during physical training activities or sports. The Medical Command hopes to learn from the field to better deal with the problem, so theyve asked us to post a link to a short survey: https://usaphcapps.amedd.army.mil/Survey/se.ashx?s=251137451930287F (Kevin, PAO)
