Abstract We prospectively evaluated the effects of a prevention program on incidence shoulder and elbow injuries in high school baseball pitchers. Ninety-two pitchers participated this study were taught to perform stretching strength exercises aimed at improving external rotation preseason. The freely chose participate one four groups [SM-group: performed both exercises, S-group: exercise only, M-group: training N-group: neither intervention]. Injury was defined as inability play for ≥8 days...
The treatment of meniscal tears in the avascular region remains a clinical challenge. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is minimally invasive, safe, and effective for various orthopaedic disorders. However, therapeutic effect ESWT on has not been reported.To evaluate tears.Controlled laboratory study.Twelve-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups (normal, ESWT-, ESWT+). authors made full-thickness 2-mm longitudinal tear anterior horn latter 2 groups. At 1 week after...
Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is characterized by traction apophysitis of the tibial tuberosity. Few studies on symptomatic and asymptomatic OSD have correlated findings with clinical examination.To investigate relationship between lower limb tightness practice time among adolescent baseball players OSD.Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3.The study participants were 402 male (N = 804 knees) a mean ± SD age 10.9 1.5 years (range, 7-14 years). Participant age, height, body weight, mass...
Background: The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is used to evaluate fundamental movement patterns in patients. It unknown whether the FMS can be as a predictive tool for occurrence of pitching injuries baseball players. Purpose: To prospectively investigate relationship between shoulder and elbow individual components during preseason high school pitchers determine which screening tools predict injuries. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 2. Methods: Eligible participants comprised...
Abstract The relationship between ankle joint function and throwing-related injuries has not been demonstrated. We hypothesized that limited range of motion (ROM) was related to risk factors for shoulder elbow in young baseball players. This 12-month prospective cohort study evaluated the age, height, weight, playing position, shoulder, elbow, 228 enrolled Shoulder were tracked during season. Univariate multivariate analyses performed identify among participants divided into non-injured...
Background: Loss of meniscal function in association with degenerative changes affects the development and progression knee osteoarthritis, for which there is currently no effective treatment. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) an established treatment musculoskeletal disorders. However, therapeutic effect ESWT on degeneration remains unclear. Purpose: To evaluate degenerated meniscus anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) model. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study....
Although shoulder apprehension is an established clinical finding and important for the prevention of dislocation, how this subjective perception evoked remains unclear. We elucidated functional neuroplasticity associated with in patients recurrent anterior instability (RSI) using magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Twelve healthy volunteers 14 right-sided RSI performed a motor imagery task passive motion task. Brain activity was compared between participants those correlated intensity...
Abstract Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) and weakness in prone external are risk factors for shoulder elbow injuries high school baseball pitchers. While a shoulder-stretching prevention program to improve GIRD decreases the injury rate, effects of strength remain unclear. This non-inferiority (NI) study investigates hypothesis that training is not inferior sleeper stretching Participants were randomly allocated (n = 62; active control group) muscle-training 51) groups....
We aimed to assess functional outcomes and postoperative recurrence rate associated with the remplissage procedure used for bone augmentation Bankart repair in patients Hill-Sachs lesions after shoulder dislocation.Preoperative computed tomography was performed check bony lesions,calculate defect rate, estimate risk re-dislocation. Functional clinical scores were assessed preoperatively at three months, six one year postoperatively.Between 2011 2014, 18 (17 male; age surgery, 29.0±10.4...
Rotator cuff disease (RCD) is one of the most common disorders in shoulder joint and causes pain functional disability. In this study, we investigated associations among cytokine levels clinical symptoms patients with RCD.Joint fluid specimens were obtained from 38 RCD before arthroscopic surgery. The inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 IL-8, evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits, between these determined. A multiple linear regression analysis was...
Grip and pinch strength are crucially important attributes standard parameters related to the functional integrity of hand. It seems significant investigate normative data for grip baseball players evaluate their performance condition. Nevertheless, few reports have explained association between anthropometric variables types pitch throwing pitchers.The aim this study was measure clinical tip, key, palmar assess relationship these among Japanese high-school pitchers.One hundred-thirty three...
The subjective symptoms of varicose veins the lower extremity often include malaise, numbness, coldness, pain, and pruritus extremity, relieving these complaints is important in managing quality life patients. We have examined clinical efficacy keishibukuryogan, a Kampo prescription for improving oketsu (impaired microcirculation, congestion), on non-specific associated with extremity. Keishibukuryogan was administered to 30 patients 12 weeks, resulting improvements scores symptoms, severity...
Abstract Some studies have reported that upper limb tightness is a risk factor for shoulder/elbow pain in high school baseball pitchers; but there has been insufficient research on the relationship between lower and shoulder elbow pitchers. This study aimed to clarify correlation among pre-season hip range of motion (ROM) disorders We surveyed 125 Hip ROM was measured supine prone positions. After season, based their answers self-recorded questionnaire, “shoulder or injury” defined as any...
Throwing-related shoulder and elbow pain continues to be reported among adolescent baseball players. Few prospective studies have specifically examined the association between throwing-related physical developmental changes.To evaluate changes in characteristics during 1 year with respect players.Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3.This 1-year follow-up study investigated 164 players aged 7 13 years. Player data (age, height, weight, field position, pitch count), lower extremity muscle...
Supraspinatus muscle atrophy is typically assessed by the occupation ratio of cross-sectional area belly to supraspinatus fossa at medial border coracoid process in a slice along oblique-sagittal plane on MRI. Previous studies have shown that changed soon after rotator cuff repair compared with before surgery. However, no examined perioperative change volume 3-dimensional measurement.To compare and surgery using imaging elucidate whether changes represent corresponding volume.Cohort study;...
