Does the OSTRC Overuse Injury Questionnaire improve the capture of overuse injuries in athletes compared to standard injury surveillance methods?
The OSTRC Overuse Injury Questionnaire provides a more comprehensive assessment of overuse injuries in athletes than standard time-loss methods.
Standard injury surveillance methods only capture a small percentage of the overuse problems affecting the athletes, largely because few problems led to time loss from training or competition. The new method captured a more complete and nuanced picture of the burden of overuse injuries in this cohort.
Clarsen et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
