Changes in Medial Elbow Joint Parameters Due to Selective Contraction of the Forearm Flexor–Pronator Muscles

Changes in Medial Elbow Joint Parameters Due to Selective Contraction of the Forearm Flexor–Pronator Muscles

The harder the forearm flexor–pronator muscles (FPMs) relative to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), the less likely it is for UCL laxity to occur with repeated pitching. This study aimed to clarify what selective contraction of the forearm muscles makes FPMs harder relative to UCL. The study eval...
