PMID 35693855WHAT IT FOUND
No original patient outcomes are reported in this clinical commentary about stride length and torso mechanics in adolescent pitchers.
It offers background considerations, not tested injury-prevention findings to act on.
What this paper is
This is a clinical commentary about stride length and torso biomechanics in adolescent baseball pitchers. It summarizes existing ideas and proposed examination points, but reports no original patients, outcomes, or tested interventions. There is no finding to change practice.
The easy way to misread this
Do not treat the suggested stride length and torso rotation considerations as proven injury prevention methods. The paper reports no original outcomes and does not test whether changing mechanics reduces medial elbow injury.
