Comparison of Kinematic Sequences During Curveball and Fastball Baseball Pitches

Abstract: Performance of a sequential proximal-to-distal transfer of segmental angular velocity (or Kinematic Sequence) is reported to reduce stress on musculoskeletal structures and thus the probability of injury while also maximizing ball velocity. However, there is limited investigation regarding the Kinematic Sequence of the five body segments (Pelvis, Trunk, Arm, Forearm, and Hand) among baseball pitchers. Some biomechanical and epidemiology studies have reported an association of the curveball with increased risk … Show more

“…The kinetic chain model of throwing suggests that the safest, most optimal method of throwing requires a highly orchestrated series of segmental movements throughout the body 4 5 6 7 8 9 . A summary of this kinetic chain model of throwing states, “…the utilization of the kinetic chain to generate and transfer energy from the larger body parts to the smaller, more injury-prone upper extremity.…”

“…The order in which each segment reaches its maximum angular velocity is described as the kinematic sequence and has been the subject of investigation. The presumed optimal kinematic sequence is, pelvis - trunk - arm - forearm - hand 7 . This optimal kinematic sequencing facilitates the distal arm acceleration to be driven primarily by the forces generated within the thorax and shoulder 10 .…”
