Grip strength is not related to increased medial elbow joint-space gapping induced by repetitive pitching
Background: Pitching induces elbow valgus stress, which can lead to an increase in medial elbow joint-space gapping when repeated. Previous basic research on the medial elbow joint shows that the contraction associated with gripping reduces medial elbow joint-space gapping. However, no studies have...
