Abstract
Introduction: Stress fracture though easily preventable is often neglected . Objectives 1. To assess whether modification of the training programme reduces the incidence of stress fracture among recruits . Results The average incidence of stress fracture from 01 Jul 2000 to 30 Jun 2004 was 36.10 per 1000, while after modification of the training programme it was 24.96 per 1000. This reduction in incidence of stress fracture was found to be statistically significant. Chi square value is 17.87, (p<0.001) Discussion Several studies on prevention of stress fractures in basic military training have been conducted. Incidence of stress fracture may be reduced by modification of training schedules. Limitations Due to various constraints, the modified training programme could be implemented only for one year. What we already know? 1. The incidence of stress fracture and various modalities of reduction in incidence of stress fracture in military recruits are known in military recruits What this article adds? 1. This article add a novel method of reduction in incidence of stress fracture in military recruits.
