U.S. Army soldiers lose substantial training hours as a result of musculoskeletal injuries. Most military injury data have focused on basic trainee populations. This study examines activities associated with injuries in operational infantry soldiers. We conducted a randomized, retrospective medical record review of 339 records from a total of 3,195 light infantry soldiers over 13 months. The annualized incidence of injuries was 95 per 100 soldiers per year vs. 74 per 100 for illness. There were 372 injuries, representing 56% of sick-call diagnoses. Physical training caused 50% of all injuries, and 30% of those were linked to running. Injuries caused nearly 10 times the number of limited duty days as illness. Soldiers with lower extremity running injuries spent seven times more days on profile than those with nonrunning injuries. We conclude that physical training is related to a high number of injuries in infantry soldiers. This study provides important data on activities and injuries in operational infantry soldiers.
由于肌肉骨骼损伤，美国陆军士兵损失了大量训练时间。大多数军事损伤数据都集中在基础训练人群上。本研究调查了作战步兵士兵中与损伤相关的活动。我们对13个月内共3195名轻步兵士兵的339份记录进行了随机回顾性病历审查。损伤的年化发病率为每100名士兵每年95例，而疾病的发病率为每100名士兵每年74例。共有372例损伤，占就诊诊断的56%。体能训练导致了所有损伤的50%，其中30%与跑步有关。损伤导致的受限工作日数几乎是疾病的10倍。下肢跑步损伤的士兵比非跑步损伤的士兵需要多7倍的时间进行伤病记录。我们得出结论，体能训练与步兵士兵的大量损伤有关。本研究提供了关于作战步兵士兵活动和损伤的重要数据。
