Methods For Determining Time To Return To Play After Recreational Injury In Field And Court Sport Athletes, Sarah N. Morris
Theses and Dissertations--Epidemiology and Biostatistics
An observational study was used to illustrate the application of time to event analysis methods to return to play; a secondary data analysis of athlete injury data from the High School RIOTM Injury Surveillance System (ISS) database was conducted. National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA)-certified athletic trainers from approximately 100 high schools in the US enroll their school in the system and complete the online “Exposure Report Form” for reportable injuries each week. New lateral ankle sprains and single-ligament knee injuries experienced by high school athletes during regularly scheduled participation in school-sanctioned sports for seven academic years (2005-2006 through 2011-2012) …
