The Management of Valgus Extension Overload Syndrome Experienced with Hitting in a High School Baseball Player: A Case Report by Andrew B Piraino, Brent M Davis

“… # Discussion Despite the concept of ‘regional interdependence’, common proximal impairments are often assumed to contribute to elbow pain without a clear biomechanical rationale. Future research demonstrating the specific biomechanical effects of the shoulder on the elbow is needed, in addition to more accessible examination strategies to assess their relationship…”
