An ultrasound and shear wave elastography study: effect of grip on medial elbow joint morphology during valgus stress
Gripping does not change UH JSW or medial elbow tissue stiffness in the joint testing configuration and external loading conditions applied in this study. This suggests that gripping may not be as protective during the high valgus stress observed in baseball pitching as believed, and that the influence of FPM activity may be joint position or load dependent.
