The Effect of Dynamic Stabilizers for Valgus Stability of the Elbow in Professional Baseball Players

University of Kansas Medical Center·interventional·Posted Apr 25, 2016·Updated Sep 27, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Strengthening program and Exercise program for Elbow Injuries and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 175 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This is a study of the muscle stabilizers of the elbow with respect to the prevention of Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) injuries in pitchers. Pitchers are assessed at spring training and end of season for approximately 5 years. Pronator, flexor digitoum superficialis (FDS), and wrist flexion strength will be measured and correlated with upper extremity injuries and time missed from pitching. The investigators will also be measuring loss of strength over the season. The goal is to learn whether strength in these muscles prevents UCL injuries and finally whether these muscles can be strengthened to avoid such injuries.
