Lumbopelvic Stability during a Single Leg Step Down Predicts Elbow Varus Torque during Baseball Pitching.

Context: During a baseball pitch, energy is transferred from the lower extremities through the lumbopelvic junction to the upper extremity. Reduced lumbopelvic stability has been associated with elbow injuries, but the mechanisms are unclear.

Objective: Characterize the predictive ability of lumbopelvic stability on elbow varus torque during a baseball pitch.
