ADVANCE Study’s Chesnokov, RAMC’s Le Feuvre on Improving Combat Casualties’ Health
Melanie Chesnokov, project manager for the Armed Services Trauma Rehabilitation Outcome (or ADVANCE) study, and Maj. Peter Le Feuvre, RAMC, a physiotherapist with the UK’s Defence Medical Services, discuss the first-of-its-kind study during the 2017 Defence and Security Equipment International conference and trade show in London. ADVANCE study researchers are investigating the “long-term health outcomes of” Iraq and Afghanistan veterans whose battlefield injuries were severe enough to require direct airlift to UK hospitals for treatment “between 2003 and 2014” over a 20-year period to help create better long-term treatment plans for future combat casualties.
