概要 Sixteen high school baseball players with no history of medial elbow injury (No-Injury group) and 14 high school baseball players with a history of medial elbow injury (Injury History group) participated. The participants pitched 100 fastballs. Medial elbow joint-space gapping and strain ratio indicating tissue elasticity of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and forearm flexor-pronator muscles (FPMs) were measured by ultrasound before pitching and following each of five 20-pitch blocks. Student t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare each parameter between groups.The results of this study indicate that FPMs elasticity at baseline and during repetitive pitching in players with a history of medial elbow injury was less than in players without injury history. This may suggest that baseball players with a history of medial elbow injury increase support of their previously injured medial elbow by lowering FPMs elasticity to counteract elbow valgus stress generated during pitching, which may lead to long-term change in the FPMs. Therefore, physical management for this change may be important to prevent re-injury in baseball players with a history of medial elbow injury.
