Recent literature is replete with studies of injury screening and prevention models, but definitive evidence for efficacy proves elusive. The US Military is comprised of young, physically active individuals in a closed medical system: an ideal study population for injury screening/prevention trials. Injury Prediction and Prevention: Lessons Learned in the U.S. Military features leading experts in military injury screening/prevention who discuss results from their recent ground-breaking work in injury prevention and prediction. The DVD also discusses lessons learned and vision for future injury prediction/prevention efforts in both military and civilian populations.
