Inertial Sensor Motion Tracking: A method development and validation study on measurement of baseball pitching

The recent advancements in inertial sensors technology and its promising results in motion tracking, catch the expert’s eyes to these new horizons in sports engineering. In baseball, which is the interest of this study, almost 90% of the pitchers got injured once a year due to wrong training and pitching techniques. Screening and real-time...

Musculoskeletal modelling of the shoulder during baseball pitching: A research combining 3D kinematic measurements with musculoskeletal modelling

A musculoskeletal model of the shoulder region, which uses kinematic data as an input an estimates muscle forces and joint loads as an output, can give valuable information on the pitching motion. This helps us to get more insight into the pitching motion and its biomechanical interactions and may also help in reducing the injury risk and...
