Objectives: Intensive military training courses are among the programs and specialties of the police force. Musculoskeletal disorders among the military are one of the most important factors that keep people away from courses and shorten their service life. The main purpose of this research is to measure the prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries in newly arrived students in the pre-service training course of the police force using the OSTRC questionnaire.
Method and design: For this purpose, 124 soldier with an average age of 20.7 years, an average height of 178.5 cm, an average weight of 72.9 kg, and an average activity per week for 3 hours and 19 minutes in one of the training barracks affiliated to the Tehran Police Force and as were selected and completed the OSTRC questionnaire on a monthly basis for 6 months. The research design of this study is epidemiology and the results are presented in a descriptive way.
Results: The results of the research related to prevalence measurement on a monthly average showed that ankles with 2.8%, knees with 2.2% and waist with 1.8% respectively had the highest prevalence rates among soldiers. Also, among the harmful factors, the parade had the largest share with 22.5% and during the period of 6 months, the second month had the highest number of injuries and the sixth month had the lowest number of injuries. In terms of participation in exercises, 86.6% of soldiers participated in practical classes during the six-month period without any problem of physical injury. 9.1% of the soldiers could not perform optimally and properly despite their full attendance in the practical classes due to physical injuries and finally, 3.8% of the participants, despite attending the practical classes, had to leave the class halfway due to the severity of the injury.
Conclusion: What is clear is that the most affected areas are the central area and the lower limbs, and the spine of the back, head and neck and upper limbs were not among the most damaged areas. Finally, it seems that the prevalence rate among the soldiers present in training courses is generally acceptable and close to the average of global statistics. However, there is a need to take preventive measures as well as planning to add classes and specialized exercises to strengthen physical fitness and specialized exercises related to improving the conditions of damaged areas. |
