High school baseball players experience shoulder and elbow injury rates of 1.39 and 0.86 per 10,000 athlete exposures, respectively.

Adapt Physical Therapy launches 3motionAI physical therapy and coaching program to provide in-depth biomechanics for athletes around the country.

Introduction

Baseball continues to grow in popularity in the United States, boasting nearly 16.7 million participants, the highest level since surveys began in 2008. Most high school baseball players are introduced to the sport at a young age through recreational or travel teams. However, with increased activity levels and the anatomical adaptations occurring during adolescence, young players are at risk of developing overuse injuries, such as Little League shoulder (LLS), due to the demands exceeding their body’s capabilities.

Challenge

The rate of shoulder injuries is 1.39 per 10,000 athlete exposures, while elbow injuries stand at 0.86 per 10,000 athlete exposures. The prevalence of LLS and other overuse conditions highlights the pressing need for effective interventions to reduce injuries and enhance performance among youth baseball players.

Solution

Adapt Physical Therapy has launched their 3motionAI remote physical therapy and coaching program. The innovative PitchAI technology offers players, coaches, and teams access to affordable biomechanics and physical therapy assessments, bridging the socioeconomic gap and democratizing access to high-quality training and injury prevention tools.

Results

Athlete A, an 11-year-old pitcher, serves as a testament to the effectiveness of Adapt Physical Therapy’s approach and the transformative power of 3motionAI technology. Athlete A started at the clinic in March with right shoulder pain and deficits in multiple areas, including his spine and hips. After undergoing physical therapy exercises and a custom return-to-throwing protocol, Athlete A’s mechanics were assessed using 3motionAI reporting tool. Significant deficits were identified, and with continued physical therapy, structured throwing, and education, Athlete A was able to return fully to the season as a pitcher.

His mechanical efficiency improved, and these improvements were sustained throughout the year, culminating in a championship game victory. Athlete A’s success story underscores the potential of Adapt Physical Therapy’s comprehensive approach to injury prevention and performance enhancement.

By providing accessible, high-quality resources, Adapt Physical Therapy and 3motionAI are revolutionizing baseball training and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to excel in America's National Pastime.
