Popis: BACKGROUND: Lower extremity injuries in soccer players are extremely common. Implementation of group injury prevention programs has gained popularity due to time and cost-effectiveness. Unfortunately, players with greater number of risk factors are most likely to sustain an injury, yet less likely to benefit from a group injury prevention program. The purpose of this study was to determine if targeting these high risk players with one-on-one treatment would result in a reduction in the number of risk factors they possess. The authors hypothesized that fifty percent or more of subjects receiving one-on-one intervention would have a reduction of ≥1 risk factor(s). STUDY DESIGN: Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design. METHODS: Division I men's and women's soccer players were screened for modifiable risk factors using a battery of tests which assessed mobility, fundamental movement pattern performance, motor control, and pain. Players with ≥ 3 risk factors (“high risk”) received one-on-one treatment from a physical therapist via an algorithm twice per week for four weeks. Players with
