Limited Total Arc Glenohumeral Rotation and Shoulder Biomechanics During Baseball Pitching

Limited Total Arc Glenohumeral Rotation and Shoulder Biomechanics During Baseball Pitching

Upper extremity injuries in baseball pitchers cause significant time loss from competing and decreased quality of life. Although shoulder range of motion (ROM) is reported as a key factor to prevent potential injury, it remains unclear how limited glenohumeral ROM affects pitching biomechanics which...

Zusammenfassung:Upper extremity injuries in baseball pitchers cause significant time loss from competing and decreased quality of life. Although shoulder range of motion (ROM) is reported as a key factor to prevent potential injury, it remains unclear how limited glenohumeral ROM affects pitching biomechanics which may contribute to upper extremity injuries. To investigate how pitchers with decreased total arc glenohumeral ROM of the throwing arm differed in upper extremity pitching kinematics and kinetics as well as ball velocity compared with pitchers with greater levels of glenohumeral ROM. Cross-sectional study. Laboratory. Fifty-seven baseball pitchers (ages 18-24) were divided into either control (≥160° total arc) or lower ROM (
