31 Aug 2 Part question and respones Week 8
After reading this article I found something very interesting that I never realized before. The article explained how excessive forces used by the elbow at a young age can have an effect on the elbow in adulthood as well. In adults excessive forces often lead to failure in ligaments and tendons, however, children use their secondary open growth plates and apophyses (Hutchinson & Wynn, 2004). A child’s growth plate will yield before it allows the excessive forces to cause failure within their ligaments or mature bones (Hutchinson & Wynn, 2004). Excessive force and overuse of the elbow of a child can lead to chronic issues as well was adaptational issues within the bones due to the elbow not being fully developed (Hutchinson & Wynn, 2004). I’ve never personally worked with a child who has suffered from an elbow injury, however, I have dealt with adults who have suffered from an elbow injury. My thoughts and opinions about the 6 stages of throwing from reading the article can cause excessive overuse of the elbow on a young child. The 6 stages of throwing consist of the windup, stride, arm cocking, arm acceleration, arm deceleration, and follow-through (Hutchinson & Wynn, 2004). During the windup stage, the forearm is slightly pronated and the elbow is flexed (Hutchinson & Wynn, 2004). During the stride and arm cocking phases the elbow is slightly extended with minimum forces crossing the elbow (Hutchinson & Wynn, 2004). During the full arm cocking stage, the forearm in fully pronated and the elbow is extended with the shoulder in external rotation (Hutchinson & Wynn, 2004). In the acceleration stage, the ball is being released and the elbow is extended and flexed (Hutchinson & Wynn, 2004). Watching my nephew began playing baseball and learning the proper throwing technique after reading this article give me some concerns. My concerns are mainly targeted to him overusing both his shoulders and his elbow at an early age due to his love for the game of baseball. If I see a child teaching their child the throwing phase I would recommend the parent knowing the proper technique of ball throwing, I would also recommend the parent being able to explain to those child ways that could make their elbow hurt as well as their shoulder. I would recommend to a parent the older a child gets in order to prevent future injuries to teach them the biomechanics of throwing. My thoughts on kids who play little league baseball from a pitcher standpoint, I believe the children should have an allowed number of pitches per game they are allowed to pitch. I think the very first throw they should learn should be the underhand pitch, with a different pitcher every game so that the children will not overuse their elbow and shoulder joints.
