This groundbreaking webinar focused on the relationship between forearm strength and UCL injuries in baseball pitchers. Presenters Tobias Addis and Andrew Hagen, both 3rd year med students at Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, kick things off with a detailed overview of the retrospective analysis of injured and uninjured pitchers. The moderator (Dr. Matt Fury) and panelists (Dr. Gunnar Brolinson, Dr. Emily Ferree, and Mike McFerran) discussed the importance of muscle balance, the role of specific muscle groups in injury prevention amongst throwers, and presented research findings that highlight the correlation between forearm flexor strength and UCL injury risk. The discussion emphasized the need for targeted training and the potential for using specific strength assessments to improve athlete performance and reduce injury rates.
