The effect of pitching biomechanics on the upper extremity in youth and adolescent baseball pitchers.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Increased pitch counts have been linked to increased complaints of shoulder and elbow pain in youth baseball pitchers. Improper pitching mechanics have not been shown to adversely affect the upper extremity in youth pitchers. HYPOTHESIS: ... Read more...

Three-dimensional shoulder kinematics to complete activities of daily living.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe the contributions of glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints in performing combing hair, feeding, reaching overhead, washing the back, and washing the contralateral axilla. DESIGN: A three-dimensional electromagnetic motion ... Read more...

In vivo measurement of shoulder joint loads during activities of daily living.

28 Jul 2009 Until recently the contact loads acting in the glenohumeral joint have been calculated using musculoskeletal models or measured in vitro. Now, contact forces and moments are measured in vivo using telemeterized shoulder implants. Mean total contact ... Read more...
