Using the single leg squat as an assessment of stride leg knee mechanics in adolescent baseball pitchers

Objectives Lack of control of the lower extremity or trunk during single leg tasks is often associated with pathomechanic adaptations during the pitching motion which may increase the risk of pain and injury to the upper extremity. The objectives of the study were to determine the amount of variability in stride knee mechanics accounted for by compensations during a common movement assessment, the single leg squat (SLS) and to establish the...
