Baseball pitchers

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Human Movement Science

Background:

  • Pitchers often experience shoulder issues.
  • Proprioception is crucial for shoulder stability and performance.
  • Dominant shoulder adaptations in athletes are common.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate proprioceptive differences between dominant and nondominant shoulders in collegiate baseball pitchers.
  • To determine if training and shoulder laxity affect proprioception in pitchers.
  • To explore the relationship between shoulder pain and proprioceptive deficits.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed 21 collegiate baseball pitchers.
  • Used a proprioceptive testing device to measure kinesthesia and joint position sense.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Compared proprioception in dominant and nondominant shoulders across various rotation angles.

    • Main Results:

    • Joint position sense was more accurate in the nondominant shoulder at 75% external rotation.
    • No significant differences in proprioception were found in other positions or for kinesthesia.
    • Pitchers with recent shoulder pain showed a kinesthetic deficit in the symptomatic dominant shoulder.

    Conclusions:

    • Pitching training does not negatively impact shoulder proprioception.
    • Shoulder pain, potentially from rotator cuff issues, is linked to decreased kinesthetic sensation.
    • Nondominant shoulder joint position sense may be superior in pitchers.
