This new epidemiologic design has just recently been applied to injury. This design is used to ask the following question: What unusual and transient exposure may have happened just before the occurrence of injury? It uses injured persons as their own controls, and is without confounding by fixed factors that are different between people, such as age, gender, occupation, and perceptual motor skills.
