Prevention of Overhead Shoulder Injuries in Throwing Athletes: A Systematic Review

New publication 📚 with open access 🔐

📊 The aim of our review was to determine whether prevention by strengthening the kinetic chain can have an impact on the rate of shoulder injury in overhead pitching athletes. 

🤾🏼‍♂️Conclusions: It is important to integrate core stability work and lower limb strengthening to minimize excessive stress on the shoulder complex, while optimizing force production and performance.

🤽🏻Clinical note: Don’t forget the entire kinetic chain when treating throwers.
