 This unique book teaches therapists how to use ergonomics to optimize
human performance and improve patient health. It explains what
recommendations should be made to industry to promote healthy work habits
and decrease the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries and discusses proper
body mechanics, work simplification techniques, and recommendations for
ergonomic equipment.
This clinical reference describes the use of ergonomics in health care and
rehabilitation as part of the process to optimize human performance within
the context of a person's environment. Rehabilitation professionals provide
consultation to industry to promote healthy work habits and decrease the
incidence of musculoskeletal injuries. Proper body mechanics, work
simplification techniques, and recommendations for ergonomic equipment
educate people on how to work more safely and productively within the work
environment. The end result is fewer injuries (with less money paid to
workers' compensation) and better productivity. Contributing authors
represent ergonomists, occupational and physical therapists, engineers,
psychologists, physicians, lawyers, and architects, and provide a clinical
reference that is applicable to all health care, rehabilitation, and
ergonomic professionals. This clinical reference describes the use of
ergonomics in health care and rehabilitation as part of the process to

Fear
of Failure: Implications for Military Health Care Specialist
Student Training
Valerie J. Rice, Tan Vu, Jenny
Butler, Diane Marra, Donna Merullo, Louis Banderet
During scholastic or physical
performance testing, individuals who fear failure tend to focus on
their fears instead of the task and often perform poorly. This
study examined the relationship between fear-of-failure (FoF) and
performance among 200~students (male=140, female =60) attending
Health Care Specialist Advanced Individual Training (AIT) at Ft.
Sam Houston. Performance measures included grade point average,
pass/fail status, Army Physical Fitness Test scores, and number of
musculoskeletal injuries. Pearson Product Moment Correlations
revealed that Soldiers who scored higher on a FoF scale also had
higher final grades (r=0.16, p=0.02, r^{2}=0.026). No significant
correlations were found between FoF and other performance
measures. While the variation in GPA accounted for by FoF was
small (2.6%), this finding demonstrates a positive relationship
that differs from previous studies. This finding may be explained
by the concepts of failure avoidance and success orientation (self
confidence and motivation), as well as the unique military
setting. Suggestions for designing military educational
interventions during AIT and throughout one's military career are
offered.

Self-reported
Health Status of Students In-processing into Military Medical
Advanced Individual Training
Valerie J. Berg Rice, Mary Z. Mays, Clayton Gable
It is important to be aware of
the health and injury status of students in military training
settings in order to adequately plan for their progression through
required physical training and provision of health care to meet
their needs. This paper describes the self-reported health status
of students arriving in two medical training Battalions at Ft. Sam
Houston. The results revealed that 43% of arriving soldiers had
musculoskeletal symptoms and 35% had symptoms that interfered with
their ability to accomplish the normal daily activities required
as students. The most common sites of symptoms were knee (17 and
18%), foot/toe (16 and 13%), ankle (9 and 10%), and lower leg (9
and 12%) for the 232nd and 187th Medical Battalions respectively.
Risk factors for those with musculoskeletal injury (MSI) symptoms
that interfere with their abilities to do their jobs include
gender, past history of injury, and self-reported stress and
fitness levels. Other risk factors for medical specialties other
than combat medic include being older (over 24 yrs of age), active
duty status, being overweight, and use of smokeless tobacco. This
information can help identify soldiers considered at risk of
incurring a MSI during AIT. With this knowledge, physical training
can be designed to help soldiers achieve fitness without
additional injury and health care facilities can be designed to
provide appropriate staffing of the health care professionals
needed for evaluation and treatment.

An Educational Exercise on Backpacks for School Children:
Including Children, Faculty and Parents
Valerie J Berg Rice, Carita DeVilbiss, Conne Bazley
The purposes of this study were
to increase backpack awareness among students, introduce
ergonomics and research to 8th graders, and to
investigate backpack use and wear among students at a private
elementary school (n = 88). For the majority of students (55.7%)
schoolbag weight was ≤ 10% of their body weight. However,
schoolbag weight was ≥ 10 and ≤ 15% of the body weight
for 30.7% of students, ≥ 15 and ≤ 20% for 12.5% of
students, and > 20% for 1% of the students. These weights
exceed the recommended guidelines provided by several American
Medical and Allied Health Professional Societies.

Effectiveness of a
screening tool to detect injuries during Army Health Care Specialist
training.
Valerie J Berg Rice, Vickie L Connolly, Allyson Pritchard, Annette
Bergeron, Mary Z Mays
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of
an initial screening and referral process in reducing the impact
of musculosketetal injuries among soldiers attending Health Care
Specialist training. Musculoskeletal injury among Army Health Care
Specialist students have been reported to be approximately 24% for
men and 24-30% for women. The highest student visit rate to the
troop medical clinic for musculoskeletal injuries, for men and
women, occurs during the first week of training. Anecdotal reports
indicate that many students arrive for training with existing
injuries or symptoms. This project was designed to assess whether
formalized early screening, referral, and intervention could 1)
identify arriving students who need musculoskeletal injury-related
medical attention, 2) reduce the number of students receiving
limited duty status during their 10-week training, 3) decrease the
total number of limited duty days for students, and 4) decrease
the number of students who cannot graduate due to musculoskeletal
injury. Students (N=291) from one company were divided into three
groups of 97 students. Three methods were used to screen and refer
students for medical intervention: 1) traditional (T), 2) by
health care providers (HCP), or 3) by Drill Sergeants (DS).
Screening by HCP and DSs involved using a new screening tool to
identify and consequently refer students with symptoms to a troop
medical clinic (TMC) for early evaluation and intervention. Using
the screening tool, HCPs identified 92% of students with injuries,
while DSs accurately identified 80%. The screening did not reduce
the number of students receiving limited duty status, total
limited duty days, or the number of students that could not
graduate due to musculoskeletal injury ("holdovers")
(p>0.05). The screening tool demonstrated good sensitivity and
specificity whether conducted by HCPs or DSs. It failed to
demonstrate efficacy in reducing the impact of musculoskeletal
injuries among Combat Medic soldiers, as measured by limited duty
days and holdovers.

Participatory ergonomics:
Determining injury control "buy-in" of US Army cadre.
Valerie J Berg Rice, Deanna Pekarek, Vicki Connolly, Ileana King,
Shelia Mickelson
Operation Aegis--Injury Control, US Army Medical Department Center
and School, Ft. Sam Houston, TX 78234, USA.
Overuse injuries account for the majority of lost duty time
profiles for soldiers attending Advanced Individual Training (AIT)
to become a Combat Medic at Ft. Sam Houston (63% for men and 74%
for women). An intervention program was initiated with two AIT
Battalions (BN) in an effort to reduce overuse injuries. The
purpose of this paper is to describe methods of tracking the
participation of supervisors during the intervention program.
Methods used to monitor participation included recording the
number of coordinating meetings, keeping minutes of advisory
committee meetings, and conducting perception surveys. Over an
18-month period, the number of coordinating meetings decreased.
Surveys identified the opinions, values, and self-identified roles
of supervisors (drill sergeants and cadre) in regard to injury
prevention with their assigned student-soldiers before and after
an intervention program. At the initiation of the injury control
program, 103 individuals completed a 27 question, anonymous survey
to assist planners with developing a strategy that would encourage
participation of cadre and drill sergeants in preventing injuries.
One year later, 191 individuals from the same battalion completed
the same survey. Results revealed a slight, statistically
insignificant, decrease in supervisors' perception of the presence
of overuse injuries in their BN (31.4% vs. 27.4%, p>0.05), and
the level of acceptable injuries moved from the 16-30% range to
the 1-10% range (chi2=4.65, p<0.05). Post-intervention, more
supervisors believed their physical training programs could impact
overuse injuries (pre 20.4% vs. post 31.6%, Chi2=6.7, p<0.01).
The results reveal several methods to track the involvement of
participants, to develop intervention strategies, and to monitor
cultural shifts necessary to the injury control process.
