“…[47] Considered a strength to the study, propensity score matching was employed to obtain age, height, weight, and sport matchedcontrol groups. Control matching has been used in prior work [48,49] to account for potential confounders that may be associated with risk factors for pain/injury [7,50,51]. As the intention of this study was to investigate the presence of upper extremity pain and sport on hip characteristics, we controlled for age and anthropometric parameters.…”

During throwing, the lower extremity assists in the generation and transfer of momentum. Lower extremity stability assists in this transfer by providing a base for distal mobility of the arm segments. This study aimed to determine differences between hip rotational range of motion and strength based on the presence of throwing-arm pain (yes/no) and throwing sport (baseball/softball). We hypothesized those experiencing pain would display decreases in hip range of motion and strength, and that softball players would display greater range of motion than baseball, but less strength based on sex-specific characteristics. Forty-four baseball (13±2 years, 165.2±13.0 cm, 58.5±13.4 kg) and 50 softball players (13±2 years, 160.9±11.2 cm, 62.7±17.9 kg) participated. Multivariate analysis of variance tests (2×2) determined differences in bilateral hip range of motion, total arc of motion, and strength between pain status and sport. There were no significant interactions (>0.05) for pain status and sport on hip range of motion, total arc of motion, and strength. Furthermore, no significant main effects (>0.05) were found for pain status or sport alone on range of motion or strength. Future work should be directed at explaining the effects of hip characteristics on the throwing motion and how it equates to throwing-arm health.

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the functional movement screen (FMS) scores of baseball players according to their careers, for the purpose of injury prevention and healthcare programs.METHODS The study subjects were evaluated by measuring the differences in the seven fundamental movement patterns of FMS between groups according to their baseball career stages. The study included 27 college baseball players and 17 middle and high school baseball players, and analysis was conducted using STATA Version 15.0 (STATA Corp., College Station, TX, USA).RESULTS In the FMS total score, the rate of poor FMS total score (≤14) was statistically higher in 96.3% of the college baseball player than 41.18% of the middle and high school baseball player (p<0.001). In the mobility part, the rate of low FMS score (≤1) in shoulder mobility was statistically higher in 77.78% of the college baseball player than 35.29% of the middle and high school baseball player (p<0.001). In the motor control part, the rate of low FMS score (≤1) in the rotary stability was statistically higher in 62.96% of the college baseball player than 5.88% of the middle and high school baseball player (p<0.001). In the functional patterning part, the rate of low FMS score (≤1) in the in-line lunge was statistically higher in 62.96% of the college baseball player than 5.88% of the middle and high school baseball player(p<0.001). And the rate of low FMS score (≤1) in the hurdle step was statistically higher in 77.78% of the college baseball player than 41.18% of the middle and high school baseball player(p=0.014).CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that college baseball players had lower functional movement scores compared to middle and high school baseball players. The findings confirm that additional training is necessary to improve the functional movement of college baseball players with more experience.
