Automated Landing Error Scoring System Performance and the Risk of Bone Stress Injury in Military Trainees.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Lower extremity bone stress injuries (BSIs) place a significant burden on the health and readiness of the US Armed Forces.

Objective

To determine if preinjury baseline performance on an expanded and automated 22-item version of the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS-22) was associated with the incidence of BSIs in a military training population.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

US Military Academy at West Point, NY.

Patients or other participants

A total of 2235 incoming cadets (510 females [22.8%]).

Main outcome measure(s)

Multivariable Poisson regression models were used to produce adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) to quantify the association between preinjury LESS scores and BSI incidence rate during follow-up and were adjus
