简要总结
To investigate the impact of manual medicine on key aspects of the kinetic chain on measures of performance in baseball players.
详细描述
An OMT protocol which targets the hips, diaphragm, and throwing shoulder will be investigated for improvement to pitch metrics of the fastball in the experimental group compared with the control group. OMT protocol is expected to increase the active ranges of motion of the throwing shoulder and the bilateral hips of those in the experimental group compared to the control group. Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Shoulder and Elbow Score (KJOC-SES) will also improve in the experimental group compared to control.
