国会授权成立肢体创伤和截肢卓越中心(EACE)，作为2009年国防授权法案的一部分。该立法授权国防部(DoD)和退伍军人事务部(VA)实施一项全面的计划和战略，以减轻、治疗和康复创伤性肢体损伤和截肢。EACE还负责进行临床相关研究，促进合作，并在多学科的国际、联邦和学术网络中建立伙伴关系，以优化遭受肢体创伤或截肢的服役人员和退伍军人的生活质量。为了满足进行研究的要求，EACE建立了一个研究和监督部门，与全球范围内优秀的国防部、退伍军人事务部和学术研究项目进行补充和合作。EACE研究人员在与肢体创伤和截肢相关的四个关键研究重点领域做出了努力：(1)新型康复干预措施，(2)先进假肢和矫形技术，(3)流行病学和监测，以及(4)医学和外科创新。本概述描述了从合作研究伙伴关系中收集的知识在创新、发现和转化为临床实践和政策方面所做的最大努力。
Congress authorized creation of the Extremity Trauma and Amputation Center of Excellence (EACE) as part of the 2009 National Defense Authorization Act. The legislation mandated the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to implement a comprehensive plan and strategy for the mitigation, treatment, and rehabilitation of traumatic extremity injuries and amputation. The EACE also was tasked with conducting clinically relevant research, fostering collaborations, and building partnerships across multidisciplinary international, federal, and academic networks to optimize the quality of life of service members and veterans who have sustained extremity trauma or amputations. To fulfill themandate to conduct research, the EACE developed a Research and Surveillance Division that complements and collaborates with outstanding DoD, VA, and academic research programs across the globe. The EACE researchers have efforts in four key research focus areas relevant to extremity trauma and amputation: (1) Novel Rehabilitation Interventions, (2) Advanced Prosthetic and Orthotic Technologies, (3) Epidemiology and Surveillance, and (4) Medical and Surgical Innovations. This overview describes the EACE efforts to innovate, discover, and translate knowledge gleaned from collaborative research partnerships into clinical practice and policy.
