Popis: | The records of 89,955 active duty Army officers were reviewed to determine their incidence of permanent upper and lower extremity profiles. Only 1,706 officers (1.897%) have permanent upper or lower extremity profiles. However, the incidence of such profiles varies with respect to rank, branch, and sex. Some officer groups have an incidence as high as 37%. Although the overall incidence of such profiles is quite low, the dramatically increased incidence in some officer groups demands scrutiny. |
