Nestor is a lot like James Harden. Develop a framework to succeed within the rules as they are written. An out is an out and winning is ultimately what matters. Especially true if this allows guys to ease of the velo and maybe preserve their arm

How well pitchers control transverse plane trunk and pelvis rotation during a single leg step down was related to how much elbow varus torque a pitcher experienced at a given ball velocity. Check it out! Lori Michener COOR Lab USC

A great read. Not everything can or should be an RCT. RCT’s borderline on infeasible in the upper echelons of athletics, but we don’t need to sacrifice the quality of findings to study that population - just get creative!

In times like these, we have to come together as a country to answer the question “How the hell did this happen?”

Excited for this R01 NIAMS to fund the identification of mechanisms associated with response (+/-) to resistance exercise for those with rotator cuff tendinopathy. If you are interested in our work, a US-eligible PT, and interested in a PhD- please reach out! COOR Lab USC

Great to get this 🏊‍♀️ study out, especially during NBC Olympics & Paralympics The Olympic Games! 💪collaboration with Brian Stirling, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS Lori Michener Adam Barrack Lisa Baek, Angela Tate USC Physical Therapy COOR Lab USC ASSET AASPT Shoulder Special Interest Group doi.org/10.26603/001c.…

Join us Monday, November 4th at 4 pm ET for the last Journal Club of 2024! We will discuss the biomechanics of pitching from the stretch and windup. Thank you to this month’s journal club sponsor, AMTI

Research Highlight #1 from Northern State U. undergrad and softball player, Alysa Lowe Drop and Drive vs Tall and Fall: does stride type impact velocity and elbow torque? This group from Auburn Kinesiology used in-game KinaTrax markerless data to investigate.

The baseball analytics event of the year is coming to Phoenix. SABR is now accepting abstracts for their 2025 national conference. Baseball biomechanists, submit your work and represent the world of baseball biomechanics (and ABBS) at SABR 2025! Submission page link in bio.

The pitching motion is a unique expression of individual muscle capacities working in concert. But how can we refine the list to the most effective group of measurements to explain injury risk and performance in our population? COOR Lab USC Lori Michener journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/23…

And thanks to the team effort on this project to define mobility, stability and muscle capacity factors that contribute to decreasing or increasing elbow varus torque in DI pitchers. Andy Karduna, Paul Diaz, Carl Stocklin, Motoki Sakurai, and Choo Phei Wee COOR Lab USC USC Physical Therapy 👇

Imagine the phone call Mavs- “we want AD” Lakers- “not available” Mavs- “for Luka” Lakers- “AD will be there in the morning”

The worst thing about research is when you spend hours or days fixing a super niche technical issue plaguing your work. Then, when everything is fixed, you can’t tell anyone because you run the risk of physically boring someone to death if you actually explain your triumph

ABBS and SABR are excited to present a webinar discussing the 2024 MLB Report on Pitching Injuries. This panel will discuss the results of the study and explore how injuries can be limited in the future. The event is free and open to all SABR and ABBS members. Link in our bio!

It's that time of the month again! The last journal club for the spring semester is this Monday, May 5th from 4-5 PM EST! We will be discussing the kinematics of baseball hitting and pitching after a brief presentation from our sponsor, Theia!

Applications for the 2025 ASB Travel Grant are now open! The winner will receive a $500 grant to assist with travel and other attendance-related costs. Applications Deadline: June 30 2025, 11:59 EST Application link and details: bit.ly/ABBS_ASB2025
