Context: Improper baseball pitching biomechanics are associated with increased stresses
on the throwing elbow and shoulder as well as an increased risk of injury. Evidence …

Objectives To investigate the relationship between baseball pitching biomechanics and
pain, injury, or surgery, in pitchers of all ages and competition levels. Design Systematic …

Background: Throwing injuries of the shoulder and elbow are common among youth
baseball players. Hypothesis: A prevention program will reduce the incidence of throwing …

Background: In a properly coordinated throwing motion, peak pelvic rotation velocity is
reached before peak upper torso rotation velocity, so that angular momentum can be …

Background: Recently, lumbopelvic control has been linked to pitching performance,
kinematics, and loading; however, poor lumbopelvic control has not been prospectively …

Background: The physical risk factors for a medial elbow injury in junior baseball players are
unknown. Purpose: To identify the risk factors for an initial medial elbow injury in junior …

Background: Youth baseball players are at high risk for elbow injuries, which can lead to
future functional disability. Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of a prevention program to …

Background: The incidence of upper extremity injuries in baseball pitchers is increasing.
Over the past decade there has been a great deal of research attempting to elucidate the …

The purpose of this study was to assess biomechanical differences among overhand, 3-
quarter, and sidearm arm slot professional baseball pitchers. It was hypothesized that …

Controversy continues whether curveballs are stressful for young baseball pitchers.
Furthermore, it is unproven whether professional baseball pitchers have fewer kinematic …
