Whole Body Kinetic Chain Muscle Activity during selected Rehabilitation Exercises in Healthy and Injured Overhead Throwing Athletes

The authors aimed to evaluate the activation levels of key muscles across the kinetic chain in healthy and injured overhead throwing athletes during selected exercises from the Advanced Throwers Ten (ATT) rehabilitation program. The study found minimal differences in muscle activity levels between the two groups, with most exercises resulting in low-to-moderate activation, except for certain prone exercises where injured athletes exhibited higher strengthening activity levels. Overall, the findings suggest that both healthy and injured athletes demonstrate similar muscle activation patterns during the ATT exercises.
