Brief Summary

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

Detailed Description

The purpose of this research project is to evaluate the effectiveness of an injury prevention intervention for collegiate soccer players. The hypothesis is that measures of sensorimotor control will improve and injury incidence rate will decrease after participation in an intervention aimed at restoration/refinement of sensorimotor control. This study will be conducted as a 1-arm intervention with pre- and post-participation measurement of sensorimotor control and completion of an exercise intervention. Statistical analyses will be completed to determine within group change pre-to post-intervention and injury risk by comparing injury rate in 2018 to injury rate of a historical control.

Conditions

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: PREVENTION
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Intervention

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.
