As the 1st SFAB was the pioneer unit, descriptive analysis of the musculoskeletal injures and body regions occurring before, during, and after deployment was previously unavailable, limiting the ability of embedded holistic health and fitness teams to proactively address the unit\u2019s musculoskeletal needs and medical readiness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Physical therapists collected and retrospectively analyzed data from 4597 encounters over 19 months: 4 months before, 9 months during, and 4 months after deployment using descriptive statistics.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Physical therapy encounters averaged 124 per month during pre-deployment preparation, 363 per month during deployment, and 206 per month post-deployment. The most common musculoskeletal injuries identified during pre-deployment were to the lumbar spine (31.8%), knee (18.1%), and shoulder (9.1%). The most common areas of injury during deployment were to the lumbar spine (28.4%), thoracic spine (18.3%), and shoulder (14.0%).

Low back pain is the primary musculoskeletal injury of the 1st SFAB throughout the entire deployment cycle. Based on these findings, recommendations include embedding injury prevention programs to address low back pain to improve medical readiness. More research is required to assess the effectiveness of these programs in reducing incidents of musculoskeletal injuries before, during, and after deployment
