Abekura, T., Maeda, N., Tashiro, T., Arima, S., Kaizuka, R., Yoshiara, R., Nagao, T., Ito, G., Yamada, T. “…Background High shoulder external rotation range of motion (ROM) in baseball players is associated with a higher risk of shoulder and elbow injuries. …”

Giordano, K., Nebel, A., Lerch, B., Oliver, G. “…Baseball pitchers commonly suffer shoulder and elbow injuries. Previous research on the relationship between pitch velocity and upper extremity kinetics has been limited to laboratory settings, but recent strides in markerless motion capture have allowed analysis of in-game baseball pitching biomechanics. …”

Job, T. D. W. III, Cross, M. R., Cronin, J. B. “…Purpose: The objective of this study was to explore the effects of training using wearable resistance (WR) applied above the elbow of the throwing arm on throwing velocity, arm speed, shoulder internal and external rotation, strength, and range of motion in baseball pitchers. …”

DeZee, Z. J., Barrack, A. J., Bucci, K., Zerega, R. J., Straub, R. K., Karduna, A. R., Michener, L. A.

Leenen, A. J. R., Hoozemans, M. J. M., van Dis, F., van der Graaff, E., Veeger, H. E. J., Verhagen, E. A. L. M. “…Context Baseball pitching requires fast and coordinated motions of the whole body to reach high ball speeds, putting considerable strain on the musculoskeletal system, particularly the shoulder and elbow. Objective To describe musculoskeletal symptoms and the functional status of the shoulder and elbow in male high school baseball pitchers. …”

Köhler, H.-P., Witt, M. “…Kinematics and kinetics of the shoulder and elbow joints were calculated and statistically compared. …”

Paul, R. W., Osman, A., Nazarian, L. N., Ciccotti, M. G., Cohen, S. B., Erickson, B. J., Buchheit, P., Rauch, J., Osbahr, D. C., Thomas, S. J. “…Background: Pitchers with deficits in total shoulder rotation range of motion (ROM) are 2.6 times more likely to experience an elbow injury. …”

Ueda, Y., Taniguchi, M., Noda, T., Minaguchi, S., Ichihashi, N. “…Objectives: Although various kinematic parameters have been investigated as factors associated with shoulder and elbow injuries during pitching, the relationship between lower extremity flexibility and such injuries remains unclear. …”

Dong, M., Li, M., Qu, Q., Kim, Y., Kim, S. “…Additionally, ASMa had significantly less elbow varus torque, greater elbow varus torque efficiency and shoulder internal rotation torque efficiency compared to the ASMi. …”

Nebel, A., Schmitt, A., Giordano, K., Oliver, G. “…Purpose The purpose of the current study is to investigate the within-pitcher differences in time series angular velocities of the pelvis, trunk, shoulder, and elbow for high and low velocity fastballs in college baseball pitchers. …”

Hulburt, T., Kimura, B., Nicholson, K. “…Motion capture data were collected for seven fastballs thrown by 17 male youth pitchers (age = 13.5 ± 1.07 years) using a 3D motion analysis system, incorporating 10-cameras. Maximum shoulder distraction force (MSDF) and maximum elbow valgus torque (MEVT) were compiled from pitching reports previously generated using Visual 3D and the Qualisys baseball module. …”

Wang, S.-M., Huang, T.-S., Chen, S.-H., Wu, Y.-R., Hsu, W.-L. “…It is crucial to monitor compensatory strategies closely to avoid shoulder and elbow injuries among these pitchers.…”

Koehler, H.-P., Witt, M. “…Furthermore, differences in the shoulder external rotation angle, the angular velocities of shoulder internal rotation and elbow extension, as well as the moments at the shoulder and elbow could be shown. …”

“…Injuries at the high school and collegiate levels occur early in the season, and approximately 50% of shoulder and elbow injuries in softball are attributable to overuse. …”

Lu, Y., Chen, P., Chou, W.-Y., Yang, C.-P., Sheu, H., Tang, H.-C., Weng, C.-J., Chiu, J. C.-H. “…Background Ultrasonographic structural abnormalities are regarded as one of the risk factors of elbow injuries. Elbow injuries are commonly associated with decreased shoulder/elbow range of motion (ROM). …”

Stokes, H. L., Eaton, K., Zheng, N. “…SEIR had significant correlations with shoulder horizontal adduction angle at foot contact, maximum shoulder external rotation angle, maximum shoulder linear velocity, and elbow angle at ball release. …”

de Carvalho-Nicolau, R., Bittar, S. T., Tilp, M., de Azevedo Lago, S., dos Santos Oliveira, L. “…The results showed that the musculoskeletal symptoms are more prevalent in the knees during the previous seven days and in the shoulder during the previous 12 months. Left-wing players were more affected by musculoskeletal symptoms in the shoulder than right-wing players and central defenders during the previous seven days regardless of the sex. …”

Stamm, M. A., Brahmbhatt, P. S., Brown, S. M., Miskimin, L. C., Mulcahey, M. K. “…The biceps tendon plays an important role in stabilizing the shoulder during the windmill pitch. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the measures used to identify and study biceps tendon pathology in softball players. …”

Manzi, J. E., Dowling, B., Trauger, N., Hansen, B. R., Quan, T., Dennis, E., Fu, M. C., Dines, J. S. “…Pitchers were divided into 2 sets of quartiles based on maximum shoulder horizontal abduction and adduction. Elbow flexion, shoulder external rotation, and peak shoulder kinetics were compared between quartiles with post hoc linear regressions conducted for the entire cohort. …”

Wilkins, S. J., Bell, D. R., Kahanov, L., Martin, M., Post, E. G. “…The purpose of this study was to determine differences in Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic (KJOC) Shoulder and Elbow Scores among collegiate baseball players based on the grade when a participant first reported high specialization behaviors. …”
