Contralateral Trunk Tilt in High School Baseball Pitchers: Comparison and Relationship with Trunk Rotational Mobility, Compensatory Lateral Flexion, and Performance

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between contralateral trunk tilt (CLT), trunk rotational mobility, compensatory lateral flexion, and performance in high school baseball pitchers. Their findings revealed no significant differences in trunk mobility or compensatory flexion between pitchers with high and low CLT, although excessive CLT was moderately correlated with increased ball velocity and strongly correlated with elbow valgus torque. This suggests that excessive CLT may not be linked to trunk mobility limitations but could impact performance metrics.
