Planning IUCRC The Ohio State University: Center for Disruptive Musculoskeletal Innovations (CDMI)

该奖项支持俄亥俄州立大学（OSU）的一个计划研讨会，以评估工业对研究议程的兴趣，作为美国国家科学基金会（NSF）资助的工业大学破坏性肌肉骨骼创新合作研究中心的潜在地点。俄勒冈州立大学网站的主要目标是扩大中心。我们对导致肌肉骨骼疾病（MSDs）和产生复发性损伤的因果途径的理解，并将这些知识转化为可以轻松应用于预防的有用工具。这将通过多学科研究工作来实现，在行业顾问的指导下，利用工程技术来理解和预防MSDs，重点是：确定与工作相关的背部疼痛和其他MSDs的来源；通过创新的干预技术预防这些伤害；评估和治疗那些患有MSD的人，使他们能够安全地重返工作岗位。俄勒冈州立大学的球队？生物力学模型将能够评估物理暴露、个体因素和社会心理影响如何相互作用于软组织负荷和改变肌肉骨骼系统内的生化反应，从而导致员工疼痛、潜在伤害和残疾。这些努力将补充现有的破坏性肌肉骨骼创新中心的工作及其改善MSD治疗和治疗的总体使命。这将创造一种更全面、更系统的伤害预防方法（降低医疗成本的最具成本效益的方法），并有助于改善腰背疾病和其他肌肉骨骼疾病患者的管理和生活质量。治疗肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）的费用很高。这些软组织扭伤/拉伤约占所有工伤或疾病的三分之一，比其他任何工伤或疾病都要多。在所有msd中，腰背部疾病（lbd）本身影响着80%的人口，每年给社会造成约1000亿美元的损失。背痛是最致残的一种伤害，造成大约1亿个工作日的损失，美国雇主每年花费大约300亿美元来治疗员工的背痛。因此，预防这些健康问题是至关重要的，也是减少伤害和帮助解决这个国家的合乎逻辑的步骤。美国医疗保健危机。然而，这些损伤的原因往往是复杂的，多因素的，和知之甚少。因此，本网站的研究人员（在行业顾问的指导下）将通过应用我们先进的分析技术来更好地了解个体受伤的因果途径，解决重要的MSD问题。我们的网站将补充现有的专注于改善MSD治疗的中心，形成一个更全面、更系统的伤害预防过程。在本网站工作的研究人员和学生将开发和应用增强的工程技术，以改善个人的健康和生活，并使公司在全球市场上更加繁荣和具有竞争力。

This award supports a planning workshop towards assessing industrial interest in the research agenda of the Ohio State University (OSU) as a potential site addition to the NSF funded Industry University Cooperative Research Center for Disruptive Musculoskeletal Innovations. The OSU Site's primary goals are to expand the center?s understanding of the causal pathways that result in musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and produce recurrent injuries and to translate this knowledge into useful tools that can be easily applied for prevention. This will be accomplished through multidisciplinary research efforts that use engineering techniques to understand and prevent MSDs, guided by industry advisors, that focus on: identifying sources of work-related back pain and other MSDs; preventing these injuries through innovative intervention techniques; and evaluating and treating those who have developed an MSD so that they can safely return to work. The OSU team?s biomechanical models will enable evaluation of how physical exposures, individual factors, and psychosocial influences interact to load soft tissues and change biochemical responses within the musculoskeletal system that contribute to employee pain, injury potential, and disability. These efforts will complement the work of the existing Center for Disruptive Musculoskeletal Innovations and its overall mission to improve MSD therapies and treatments. This will create a more-holistic, systematic approach to injury prevention (the most cost-effective means to reduce healthcare costs) and assist in improving the management and quality of life of those suffering from low back disorders and other musculoskeletal diseases.Treating those suffering from a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) is costly. These soft tissue sprains/strains account for about one-third of all workplace injuries or illnesses, more than any other. Of all MSDs, low back disorders (LBDs) themselves affect 80% of the population and cost society about $100 billion annually. They are the most disabling type of injury, responsible for approximately 100 million lost workdays, and U.S. employers spend about $30 billion each year just to treat employee back pain. Thus, preventing these health issues is vital and the logical step to reduce injuries and help solve this nation?s healthcare crisis. However, the causes of these injuries often are complex, multi-factorial, and poorly understood. So, researchers at this Site (guided by industry advisors) will address important MSD concerns, by applying our sophisticated analysis techniques to better understand the causal pathways by which individuals become injured. Our Site will complement an existing Center that focuses on improving MSD treatments, to form a more-comprehensive, systematic injury prevention process. Researchers and students working within this Site will develop and apply enhanced engineering techniques to improve the health and lives of individuals as well as make companies more prosperous and competitive in the global market.
