Non-contact injuries are common in collegiate throwing athletes. Identifying musculoskeletal issues that predispose athletes to injuries would be valuable for reducing the associated risk. The purpose of this pilot study was to use binomial logistic regression to identify injury-prone athletes with multiple pre-season functional measures and demographic information. Eighteen Division II baseball and softball athletes underwent pre-season functional testing including measures of manual muscle testing of the dominant shoulder muscles (MMT), the functional movement screen (FMS), and closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability (CKCUES). A certified athletic trainer at the university diagnosed and documented the injuries that these athletes sustained over the course of the season. Binomial logistic regression models were used to assess the effects of FMS composite score, CKCUES normative score, MMT scores, and demographic information on the likelihood that participants would sustain (a) any type of injury and (b) a shoulder injury during the competitive season. The model for injury was not significant ( = 0.822), correctly classifying 72.2% of cases. The model for shoulder injury was significant ( = 0.039) and correctly classified 100% of cases. These results suggest that shoulder injury incidence may potentially be predicted using sport-specific movement tests in baseball and softball athletes. A larger sample size is needed to verify these results in the future.
非接触性损伤在大学投掷运动员中很常见。识别易使运动员受伤的肌肉骨骼问题对于降低相关风险具有重要意义。这项初步研究的目的是使用二项逻辑回归,通过多项季前功能测试和人口统计学信息来识别易受伤的运动员。18名二级棒球和垒球运动员接受了季前功能测试,包括对优势肩部肌肉的手法肌力测试(MMT)、功能动作筛查(FMS)以及闭链上肢稳定性测试(CKCUES)。该大学的一名认证运动训练师诊断并记录了这些运动员在赛季中所遭受的损伤。二项逻辑回归模型用于评估FMS综合评分、CKCUES标准评分、MMT评分和人口统计学信息对参与者在竞技赛季中遭受(a)任何类型损伤和(b)肩部损伤可能性的影响。损伤模型不显著( = 0.822),正确分类了72.2%的病例。肩部损伤模型显著( = 0.039),正确分类了100%的病例。这些结果表明,使用针对棒球和垒球运动员的特定运动动作测试可能能够预测肩部损伤发生率。未来需要更大的样本量来验证这些结果。
