The flow of mechanical energy of segmental motion during baseball pitching is poorly
understood, particularly in relation to the valgus torque at the elbow which is prone to …

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of intersegmental power with
elbow valgus load during pitching in adult baseball players. Kinematic and kinetic data from …

Background: Pitching-related elbow injuries remain prevalent across all levels of baseball.
Elbow valgus torque has been identified as a modifiable risk factor of injuries to the ulnar …

Elbow valgus load generated in baseball pitching is a risk factor for throwing-related injuries.
However, an induced acceleration analysis establishing the cause–effect relationship …

Some studies have reported that overarm baseball pitching shows a proximal to distal
sequential joint motion including a rapid extension of the elbow. It has been suggested that …

Background Studies have shown that various biomechanical factors affect valgus extension
overload during baseball pitching; yet, their relationships are not clearly defined, and factors …

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to provide information regarding the knowledge of
mechanical principles related to the load applied to the shoulder and elbow during the …

The association between breaking pitches and elbow injury remains nebulous.
Biomechanical studies have shown that throwing a fastball rather than a curveball results in …

Eight international baseball pitchers were filmed in a laboratory while throwing from a
pitching rubber attached to a Kistler force platform. Following a warm-up, all subjects threw …

To reach the level of elite, most baseball pitchers need to consistently produce high ball
velocity but avoid high joint loads at the shoulder and elbow that may lead to injury. This …
