About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male and female athletes on the soccer roster who are eligible to play in the fall 2018 season at Mississippi College

Exclusion criteria

  • Any athlete who has a current diagnosis of concussion (i.e. a non-medically cleared concussion), lower-extremity musculoskeletal injury, or other medical diagnosis that will prevent the athlete from participation in the intervention.

Treatment and study plan

Intervention

Other

Multi-modal sensorimotor training interventions, including vestibular, oculomotor, neuromotor, and postural control/ balance exercises.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in clinical measures of sensorimotor control

    Time frame: Pre to post-treatment (1 month)

    Clinical examination tests

Secondary outcomes

  1. Injury incidence rate

    Time frame: 1 year

    b) The incidence rate ratio of injury rates between a historical control (2017 soccer season) and the 2018 soccer-season from the participating college's soccer teams.
