Area of Science:

  • Military Medicine
  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Limited research exists on self-reported instruments assessing injury effects in military personnel.
  • Knee pain is a common issue affecting soldiers' physical performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate self-reported knee pain (KP) and its impact on physical performance during military service.
  • To assess the utility of self-reported outcome measures in military conscripts.

Main Methods:

  • Ninety-five male conscripts aged 19-25 years were studied.
  • Participants were grouped based on the presence or absence of self-reported knee pain.
  • Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) were administered at baseline and 6 months.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences favoring the no-KP group were observed across all KOOS subgroups (P < 0.001).
  • Both groups demonstrated significant physical condition improvements (APFT: 22.2% increase; running time: 10.3% decrease, P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

  • Self-reported knee pain and reduced function did not hinder physical condition or running speed improvements in Estonian conscripts.
  • The Army Physical Fitness Test effectively assessed physical performance changes despite self-reported knee issues.
