“…b Significant difference from all other groups (P \ .05). extremity biomechanics in numerous sporting situations, 3,5,12,13,15,23 and these results suggest that a similar result may occur in baseball pitching. Therefore, work is currently under way to test whether an exercise program focused on lumbopelvic control will lead to a reduction in the number of injuries sustained or days missed during the season because of injuries.…”

“…The number of days missed by those in the poor lumbopelvic control group was significantly greater than the moderate or good groups (Figure 5), which is consistent with either an increased number of injuries or increased severity of injuries in the poor control group. Improving lumbopelvic strength, endurance and control have been reported to lower the occurrence of lower extremity injuries or improve lower extremity biomechanics in numerous sporting situations 3, 5, 12, 13, 15, 23 , and these results suggest that a similar result may happen in baseball pitching. Therefore, work is currently underway to test whether an exercise program focused on lumbopelvic control will lead to a reduction in the number of injuries sustained or days missed during the season due to injuries.…”

Background Recently lumbopelvic control has been linked to pitching performance, kinematics and loading; however, poor lumbopelvic control has not been prospectively investigated as a risk factor for injury in baseball pitchers. Hypothesis Pitchers with poor lumbopelvic control during spring training are more likely to miss 30 or more days due to injury through an entire baseball season than pitchers with good lumbopelvic control. Study design Cohort study. Methods Three hundred forty-seven professional baseball pitchers were enrolled into the study during the last 2 weeks of spring training and stayed with the same team for the entire season. Lumbopelvic control was quantified by peak anterior-posterior deviation of the pelvis relative to starting position during a single leg raise test (APScore). Days missed due to injury through the entire season were recorded by each team's medical staff. Results Higher APScore was significantly associated with a higher likelihood of missing 30 days or more (Chi-Square, p=0.023). When divided into tertiles based on their APScore, participants in the highest tertile were 3.0 times and 2.2 times more likely to miss at least 30 days throughout the course of a baseball season relative to those in the lowest or middle tertiles, respectively. Higher APScore was also significantly associated with missing more days due to injury within participants who missed at least one day to injury (ANOVA, p=0.018), with the highest tertile missing significantly more days (mean=98.6 d) than the middle tertile (mean=45.8d, p=0.017) or the lowest tertile (mean=43.8, p=0.017). Conclusion This study found that poor lumbopelvic control in professional pitchers was associated with increased risk of missing significant time due to injury.
