Matthew L Gauthier, Casey A Unverzagt, George J Davies

PMID 39758696

WHAT IT FOUND

No original methods or results are reported.

This concept review suggests evaluating trunk and lower extremity in baseball pitchers, but those recommendations are not tested evidence.

What this paper is

This is a concept review about evaluating and treating baseball pitchers. It discusses the kinetic chain, lists examination tests and suggested interventions, but it reports no original methods or results, so there is no finding to act on.

The easy way to misread this

Do not read the listed tests or suggested interventions as proven to prevent injury or improve pitching. This is a concept review, not a tested study.
