The Influence of Elbow Flexion and Arm External Rotation on Peak Elbow Valgus Torque and Ball Velocity in Baseball Pitching

Introduction <br/>Elbow injury, especially Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) tear, is very common in baseball pitching. This is often attributed to high valgus torques repetitively stressing the ligament. The goal of this study was to research the effect of Elbow Flexion (EF) and arm External Rotation (ER) angle on Peak Valgus Torque (PVT) as well...
