Baseball pitchers showed varied adoption of biomechanical devices. Improving device usability is key for injury prevention research using training load and movement data.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Athletic Training

Background:

  • Baseball clinicians, coaches, and players seek biomechanical devices for training insights and injury prevention.
  • Feasibility data for adopting novel biomechanical technologies in baseball is limited.
  • This study investigated the adoption and continued use of wearable and portable biomechanical devices by collegiate baseball pitchers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the uptake (initial use) and adherence (continued use) of biomechanical devices among collegiate baseball pitchers.
  • To assess the feasibility of integrating biomechanical monitoring into a baseball training season.
  • To identify factors influencing the adoption and sustained use of these technologies.

Main Methods:

  • Calculated uptake and adherence rates with 95% confidence intervals for a biomechanical pitching sleeve and a force plate.

  • Monitored device use during practice and a countermovement jump task weekly.
  • Conducted non-response bias analyses comparing users and non-users based on medical history and pitching data.

    • Main Results:

    • Twenty-two pitchers participated in the study.
    • Force plate uptake was 0.32 (95% CI: 0.14, 0.55), and pitching sleeve uptake was 0.55 (95% CI: 0.32, 0.76).
    • Adherence was 0.46 (95% CI: 0.31, 0.70) for the force plate and 0.13 (95% CI: 0.09, 0.17) for the pitching sleeve. Pitchers without prior upper extremity injuries were more likely to continue using the pitching sleeve.

    Conclusions:

    • Observed variable uptake and adherence rates for biomechanical devices among pitchers.
    • Highlighted the need to address barriers and facilitators to enhance device adoption and sustained use.
    • Emphasized the importance of improved uptake and adherence for future research on injury prevention through biomechanical data monitoring.
