In the 10 years since the current concept series entitled “The Disabled Throwing Shoulder:
Spectrum of Pathology” was conceived and written, many studies have been reported that …

The overhead throwing motion is a complex activity that is achieved through activation of the
kinetic chain. The kinetic chain refers to the linkage of multiple segments of the body that …

Context: Although baseball is a relatively safe sport, numerous reports suggest a rapid rise
in elbow injury rate among youth baseball pitchers. Evidence Acquisition: PubMed was …

The overhead throwing or serving motion is a complex dynamic activity involving the entire
body. It results in the performance of a task that requires repetitive high velocity, high load …

Background: During the pitching motion, velocity is generated by the upper extremity kinetic
chain on internal rotation of the shoulder and trunk translational/rotational motion. This …

Context: The overhand pitch is one of the fastest known human motions and places
enormous forces and torques on the upper extremity. Shoulder and elbow pain and injury …

Background: Contributing factors for arm injuries among baseball players have been
described. However, no review has systematically identified risk factors with findings from …

Sequenced physiologic muscle activations in the upper and lower extremity result in an
integrated biomechanical task. This sequencing is known as the kinetic chain, and, in upper …

Background: Ulnar collateral ligament injury and its subsequent surgical reconstruction are
some of the most common issues among Major League Baseball (MLB) players …

Background: There is a growing number of pitching-related upper extremity injuries among
young baseball pitchers; however, there is a lack of data on the identification of injury …
