Establishing the capacity of the muscles around the elbow joint to compensate for the external valgus moment during a fastball pitch: An electromyographic study

Baseball pitching is a movement wherein an external valgus moment around the elbow joint regularly causes an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury. A proven relationship between the muscle activation around the elbow joint and its capacity to compensate for the external valgus moment during a baseball pitch allows predicting the likelihood of a...
