Sarah Hubball
PMID 41048420WHAT IT FOUND
No original research or outcomes are reported.
The paper offers a theoretical proposal for nerve flossing in pitchers but provides no evidence that it prevents injury.
What this paper is
This paper is a clinical suggestion proposing nerve flossing techniques for baseball pitchers, but it reports no original patient data, no methods, and no outcomes. It discusses theoretical mechanisms and existing literature without testing the intervention, so there is no finding here to change your practice on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not assume this paper provides evidence that nerve flossing prevents ulnar collateral ligament injury. It is a theoretical suggestion and clinical commentary that cites other work but does not report any original trial, cohort, or case series results.
