The Impact Of A Structured Reconditioning Program On The Physical Attributes And Attitudes Of Injured Police Officers: A Pilot Study, Rob Orr, Michael Stierli, Matteo L. Amabile, Benjamin Wilkes
Rob Marc Orr
Specific work tasks represent the most widely recognised risk for Workplace Musculoskeletal Disorders and injuries. Six injured police officers (m=38.8 years of age) volunteered to participate in a study to determine whether a structured and supervised reconditioning program may improve their return to work prospects. Three officers were allocated to the intervention group, receiving eight training sessions over four-weeks of a tailored reconditioning program, and three officers to a control group. Both groups continued to receive standard medical care. Mean total Functional Movement Screen scores increased in the intervention group (+4.3 points) to a greater extent than the control group …

The Royal Military College Physical Conditioning Optimisation Review: A Four Year Project To Improve Physical Health And Fitness While Reducing Injuries, Robin Orr
Rob Marc Orr
This session presents a unique insight into the Physical Conditioning Optimisation Review; a four year project to reduce musculoskeletal injuries at the Royal Military College. It will highlight the benefits and potential pitfalls of an injury surveillance program and the importance of identifying cultural and contextual factors that influence risks and risk controls. Lessons learnt and subsequent actions taken by the review will be explored and the impact of dedicated managerial support and effective leadership discussed.
