NCT ID: NCT02749760 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Upper Extremity Injuries

Prevention of Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) Injuries in Minor League Pitchers

Start date: February 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a study of the muscle stabilizers of the elbow with respect to the prevention of Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) injuries in pitchers. Pitchers are assessed at spring training and end of season for approximately 5 years. Pronator, flexor digitoum superficialis (FDS), and wrist flexion strength will be measured and correlated with upper extremity injuries and time missed from pitching. The investigators will also be measuring loss of strength over the season. The goal is to learn whether strength in these muscles prevents UCL injuries and finally whether these muscles can be strengthened to avoid such injuries.
