Brief Summary

The purpose of this research project is to evaluate the effectiveness of an injury prevention intervention for collegiate soccer players.

Conditions

Athletic Injuries

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in clinical measures of sensorimotor control

  Clinical examination tests

  Pre to post-treatment (1 month)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Injury incidence rate

  1 year

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

When enrolled into the study, the participants will be asked to join a group in WhatsApp for purposes of the research study. The application will be used to: deliver reminders for each treatment session; deliver daily prompts for the home exercise program; and present a web-link to the home exercise program (HEP). Participants will receive physical therapist delivered multi-modal sensorimotor training interventions. The exercises delivered at each intervention will be delivered in a group format, using a circuit of exercises that each athlete will complete in a session. Subsequent sessions will build upon previous sessions to work the sensorimotor control system in progressively more challenging and sport-specific scenarios. This present study will complete 8 sessions over 4 weeks.

Intervention OTHER

Multi-modal sensorimotor training interventions, including vestibular, oculomotor, neuromotor, and postural control/ balance exercises.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: NA
• Masking: NONE
• Masking Details: No masking will be used
• Purpose: PREVENTION
• Intervention Model: SINGLE GROUP
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: Associate Professor

Model Details: This study will be conducted as pilot of a one-arm intervention using,1) pre- and post-participation measures of sensorimotor control and 2) injury incidence rate over the sports-season directly after completion of the intervention compared to injury incidence rate of a historical control (the 2017 soccer season at Mississippi College). Participants will include men and women athletes on soccer teams from one Division II institution.
