NO
To investigate changes in stiffness of the forearm pronator-flexor muscle group before and after pitching and their relationships with pitching biomechanics
Efficacy
Changes in stiffness and shear wave velocity of the flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor digitorum superficialis, pronator teres, and flexor carpi radialis before and after pitching,
Muscle Strength Before and After Pitching and the Radioulnar Joint Distance at the Medial Collateral Ligament Attachment Site of the Elbow Joint; Evaluation of Shoulder and Elbow Joint Movement (Joint Angle, Velocity) in Pitching Motion Analysis
Interventional
Single arm
Non-randomized
Open -no one is blinded

Prevention
| Behavior,custom |
The examinee will throw 60 pitches.
SWE measurement and throwing motion analysis will be performed before and after pitching.
SWE will be measured using Aixplorer (Supersonic Imagine).
Throwing motion will be analyzed using Viper.
