Abstract:Objectives:Muscle activation patterns and the kinetics of overhead throwing have been well described in the baseball athlete but not in the football athlete. Injury patterns vary between these two populations. The purpose of this controlled laboratory study was to describe the muscle activation patterns of the elbow and forearm during the overhead football throw. A better understanding of muscle activation patterns and kinetics will help clinicians understand the difference in injury between these two populati… Show more
