Abstract:

This report describes the period prevalence and costs of back injuries to nursing staff of long term care facilities in comparison to nurses employed industry wide and to other occupations industry wide. The period prevalence of back injuries to nursing staff in long term care facilities was highest for nurse aides, followed by LPNs and then RNs. Nurses (combined) had a period prevalence of back injuries nearly 1.5 times higher than all employees of long term care facilities and 6 times higher than all occupations combined industry wide. Within long term care facilities, nurses sustaining back injuries were younger and had been employed for a shorter period of time than the average for all nurses employed in long term care facilities. Back injuries accounted for more than half of the indemnity and medical costs for all injuries incurred in nursing homes and industry wide. The findings highlight the need for better prevention and rehabilitation.

Abstract:

Workers' compensation programs have emerged as among the largest and most important social programs in the United States. Workers' compensation claims in the state of Michigan account for an expenditure of approximately 1.3 billion dollars annually (Michigan Workers' Compensation Agency, 2011. 2011 Annual Report). Back injuries are the most prevalent work-related injury in the United States. Since 2002, such injuries in the baby-boomer generation have increased at a rate of 50% (Toossi, 2005. Labor force projections to 2014: Retiring boomers). The purpose of this study is to describe the personal lived experiences of older (over 55 years old) injured employees as a result of injuring their lower backs at work. The study only examined occupational lower back injuries suffered while assembling automotive parts in the state of Michigan. The study incorporates a qualitative design, specifically an interpretative phenomenological analysis, to focus on the lived experiences of the participants, and underpins the theory of planned behavior to assist with forecasting and understanding the particular behaviors within this population. A four-step data analysis method was used to illustrate and understand the meaning and essence of the lived experience of the injured, older automobile assembler worker.

Through a review of literature and interviews with physical therapists specializing in dance, hip and low back injuries common to dancers are described and options for treatment are discussed. Injuries include internal and external snapping hip, non-specific hip and low back pain, IT band problems, labral tears, hip impingement, and spondylolisthesis. Depending on the site and severity of the injuries, common treatments range from surgical to conservative (e.g. - manual therapy, exercise, Functional Electronic Stimulation, iontophoresis). It is reported that most dancer injuries result from overuse and are related to poor technique. All three PTs interviewed also note that injuries are often a result of choreographic demands on the dancer and recommend breathing techniques and neuromuscular re-patterning for rehabilitation.

Abstract:

Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University
The high incidence of back injuries amongst competitive figure skaters is reason for concern. Little is known regarding on or off ice factors contributing to these types of injuries. Insight into the causes is essential for recommending changes to prevent back injuries, to make skaters more productive with their training and improve their skating. The uniqueness of figure skating requires an in-depth look at all aspects of their training in order to understand what might be causing these injuries to occur. The goal of this study was to evaluate members of the Skating Club of Boston (SCOB) training community for the on and off ice training patterns and movements and compare those skaters with repeated injuries to those who are uninjured. In this study, 34 competitive figure skaters were enrolled, and divided into categories of skaters with significant back injury history (BIH) and skaters with no back injury history (NBIH) and stratified by gender. All skaters completed an injury history questionnaire, an off-ice muscle strength and flexibility assessment, an off-ice analysis of a squat movement and an analysis of on-ice jump technique.

Abstract:

The occupation of sheep-shearing is classified as heavy to very-heavy physical work requiring a high level of energy expenditure while performing a repetitive task in a predominantly sustained trunk flexion posture. The task is further complicated by unpredictable animal behaviour. Shearing is considered to carry a high risk of injury particularly to the lumbar spine and epidemiological studies have demonstrated that the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in shearers is high relative to other occupations. The emergence of a commercial shearing-aid (Warrie Back-Aid TM) that is purported to decrease loading on the spine, reduce injury rate and alleviate symptoms of spinal origin has been welcomed by many sectors of the wool-harvesting industry. However, the precise biomechanical influence of the Warrie Back-Aid TM (WBA) on the sheep-shearing task has not been quantified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the WBA on three-dimensional kinematics and electromyography of the trunk for 12 experienced shearers during the occupational task of sheep-shearing. Sheep-shearing is a highly patterned process comprised of specific interlinked phases. Nine distinct phases of the shearing-task where the harness was worn during the removal of the sheep�s fleece were investigated. The study used an opto-electronic motion analysis system and rigid body dynamic modelling. The shearer�s trunk and pelvis were considered as a series of three coupled rigid segments; pelvis, lumbar, and thorax with four passive retro-reflective markers defining each segment. The kinematic variables of angular displacement, velocity and acceleration at the thoraco-lumbar and lumbo-pelvic joint centres were calculated for each shearer while shearing with and without the WBA. An eight channel sEMG telemetry system was used to simultaneous record activity in four pairs of trunk muscles. Temporal analysis of the sEMG signal gave information on the duration and relative intensity of trunk muscle activity. The results demonstrated that the task of sheep-shearing required endurance-based muscle activity and the adoption of quasi-static posturing combined with complex asymmetrical trunk motion for extensive periods of the task time. There was considerable variability in the trunk motion of individual shearers despite the pattern-taught and repeatable nature of the shearing task. The introduction of the WBA had no effect on the time taken to shear or trunk kinematics however it resulted in reductions in muscular activity of the trunk extensors. When the complete shearing task was analysed there was a statistically significant reduction in mean intensity of muscle activity for the left multifidus (p = 0.010), right multifidus (p = 0.001), right iliocostalis (p = 0.004) and right longissimus (p = 0.002) when the WBA was used. A reduction in muscular activity of the trunk extensors during the sheep-shearing task may result in a decrease in spinal loading, energy expenditure and muscular fatigue. The clinical recommendation based on the biomechanical results of this and other studies is that the WBA should be incorporated into the practice of sheep-shearing to assist in the reduction of inherent risks associated with the shearing task. Prospective studies into the effect of the harness on LBP are required to endorse this recommendation.

Abstract:

Pain affects as many as 50 million Americans, with annual costs estimated as high as $90 billion. Unfortunately, the mechanism of injuries leading to persistent pain syndromes remain largely uncharacterized. A common painful injury results due from mechanical loading of nerve roots, which can occur for spinal injuries in both the low back and neck. Relationships have been demonstrated between tissue compression and behavioral hypersensitivity responses in animal models, with differential patterns of sensitivity depending on the nature of the mechanical insult (Colburn et al., 1999). Mechanical allodynia (MA) is an increased behavioral sensitivity to a non-noxious stimulus and is observed in the dermatome of the injured tissue. It can be measured by the frequency of paw withdrawals elicited by stimulation with normally non-noxious von Frey filaments. Allodynia is a clinical measure of sensitivity and, therefore, provides a useful gauge of nociceptive responses. Animal studies have shown that compression of neural structures initiates a variety of physiologic responses, including decreased electrical activity, increased edema formation, and increased endoneurial pressure in the region of compression (Lundborg et al., 1983; Olmarker et al., 1989, 1990; Pedowitz et al., 1992). While these studies document physiologic changes immediately following injury, they do not describe the temporal nature of these changes following tissue loading as they relate to pain behaviors. Moreover, despite this evidence of edema formation and increased endoneurial pressure locally in the nerve roots, no study has simultaneously documented local changes in nerve root geometry following compressive injury and how these changes may be linked to the onset and/or maintenance of pain-associated behaviors. Therefore, this study examines injury biomechanics for pain-behaviors in a radiculopathy (nerve root injury) model and temporally characterizes the local geometric changes in the nerve root for a series of postsurgical time points following compressive injury. While these results indicate that compression magnitude clearly modulates pain responses, the local nerve root swelling does not appear to directly drive behavioral changes. This suggests a complicated physiology for injury which likely contributes to the manifestation of pain. Findings are also presented for preliminary investigations into tissue rebound/recovery responses for varied mechanical insult magnitudes to begin to understand potential injury mechanisms leading to pain.

Abstract:

Combat helmet protection zone parametric design is presented for small arms and explosive device ballistic threat notional spatial distributions. The analysis is conducted using a computer aided design software application developed to evaluate ballistic threats, helmet design parameters, and a standard set of common brain injuries associated with head impacts. The analysis helps to define the helmet trade space, facilitates prototyping, and supports helmet design optimization. Direct head impacts and helmet impacts, with and without helmet back face contact to the head, are tabulated. Head strikes are assumed to produce critical or fatal penetrating injuries. Helmet back face deflections and impact generated projectile-helmet-head motions are determined. Helmet impact obliquity is accounted for by attenuating back face deflection. Head injury estimates for ten common focal and diffuse head injuries are determined from the back face deflections and the head injury criteria. These, in turn, are related to the abbreviated injury score and associated radiographic dimensional diagnostic criteria and loss of consciousness diagnostic criteria from the trauma literature.

Abstract:

Abstract An analysis of rear end accidents involving rear seat occupants seated behind a front seat occupant was conducted examining the probability of serious injury as a function of both crash severity and front seat performance failure. Seat performance failure is when some element of the seat fails to do what it is designed to do, e.g. a seat back lock allows the seat back to move during the collision. The results suggest that the risk of serious injury is greater in the 6.7-11.2 m/s Delta-V crash severity range when the seat in front of the occupant suffers a performance failure.

Abstract:

The sport of boxing dates back to the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans. While boxing has come a long way from its origin in fist fighting, head injury is of great concern in the sport of boxing. A study found that over 70% of acute injuries occur in the head region, with almost half of the injuries to this region being concussions [1]. Various techniques have been implemented to discern the risk of head injury in boxing. Although some surrogate data have been collected to assess the mechanism that causes the injuries [2], real-time head acceleration data from the ring has yet to be obtained.

Abstract:

On 14 August 2021, Haiti was hit by a magnitude 7.2 earthquake with an epicentre in the Canal du Sud (120 km west of the capital, Port-au-Prince). The earthquake killed over 2,200 people and injured more than 12,000. The vulnerability of the Haitian people to such a disaster can be traced back through centuries of colonial exploitation, resource extraction and political instability; displaying very clearly that disasters are byproducts of the societal construction of risk. This technical background report for the 2021/2022 edition of the Interconnected Disaster Risks report analyses the root causes, drivers, impacts and potential solutions for the Haiti earthquake through a forensic analysis of academic literature, media articles and expert interviews.

Abstract:

Approximately 28,000 maternal deaths occur every year in Bangladesh due to pregnancy and delivery-related complications, while many more women suffer major physical and psychological injuries. Available statistics indicate an increase in menstrual regulation (MR) and abortions, most performed by untrained practitioners under unhygienic conditions. Introducing emergency contraception (EC) in the national family planning (FP) program in Bangladesh could substantially reduce unwanted pregnancies and as result MR/abortions should also decrease. Because MR/abortions in Bangladesh significantly contribute to high maternal morbidity/mortality, introducing EC could be an important reproductive health intervention to provide couples with a back-up support to prevent unwanted pregnancy. EC could also reduce the psychological worries and health risks associated with unwanted pregnancies, MR, and abortions. The Directorate of Family Planning in collaboration with the Population Council’s Frontiers in Reproductive Health Project, Pathfinder International, and John Snow Inc., is conducting this feasibility study to develop, test, and document operational details for introducing EC as a back-up support for existing FP methods. This report is an interim update of the study’s accomplishments so far.
