1. Risk Factors for Arm Injuries in Baseball

It is important for rehabilitation professionals to be aware of the increasing incidence of baseball injuries and the physical risk factors that contribute to time loss. This chapter will help the learner become familiar with common musculoskeletal injury risk factors in baseball players.
