Abstract
Cumulative Effects of Occupational Loading as a Risk Factor for Hip Pain in UK Military Personnel - Study Protocol of a Case Control Study
Highlights
High rates of hip Osteoarthritis (OA) have been reported in occupational sub-groups exposed to prolonged and strenuous physical activity levels
This case-control study will provide the first estimates of the risks associated with occupational factors and the onset of non-arthritic hip pain in United Kingdom (UK) military personnel
The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of occupational and demographic factors associated with physician-diagnosed non-arthritic hip pain among active UK military personnel
Summary
High rates of hip Osteoarthritis (OA) have been reported in occupational sub-groups exposed to prolonged and strenuous physical activity levels. The military population is at risk given the demands inherent to this population. Despite the burden associated with non-arthritic hip complaints and OA there is a dearth of published data investigating the pre-disposing risk factors in military populations. The purpose of this article is to describe the protocol and methodology for a case-control study examining the influence of occupational and demographic factors associated with physician-diagnosed non-arthritic hip pain among active UK military personnel
