Throwing Device Trial
A Low-Cost, Collaborative Tool for the Tracking of Youth Activities to Reduce Risk of Physical Injury
Study Overview
Detailed Description
With the rise in competitive sports participation in pediatric and adolescent populations, there has also been an increase in overuse injuries. Current methods of overuse injury prevention, such as pitch-counting, fail to account for differing techniques or effort and often ignore the elevated risk for children participating in two or more sports emphasizing the same body part. This wearable device seeks to more accurately monitor overuse to prevent and aid rehabilitation of overuse injuries.
Subjects will be asked to fill out a short survey about their athletic activities. They will wear a prototype of a minimal risk throwing device during simulated baseball play in a sports medicine session or at the Human Motion Laboratory. Various motion data from the device and from the Motion Lab analysis will be collected to create and refine an algorithm to quantify workload and throwing movements.
The primary endpoint of this study is to quantify motion capture data on movements common to baseball play. The secondary endpoints include quantifying injury associated with different baseball movement using the proposed system, development of algorithms to quantify workloads associated with injury during common baseball movements and validation of basic device measurements (Pilot Phase).

Experimental: Throwing Device Phase 1
During Phase 1, subjects that have been recruited, consented, and enrolled will come to the biomechanics laboratory for throwing performance housed at the University of Pennsylvania (Human Motion Laboratory) on the day of their appointment.
Subjects will be asked to wear the prototype device during a simulated baseball game (approximately 30-45 pitches), and then will perform a set of other baseball-specific movements while fitted with infrared markers for throwing analysis.
This data will be used to develop and refine the algorithm for the prototype.
|
The Innovative Design Labs ( IDL) PhySens will be used to monitor the physical motions of subjects during standard sports-related actions (e.g.
throwing a baseball).
For this test, the PhySens Carrier will be attached via clothing rivets to a fabric sleeve or strap made of compliant materials commonly used in clothing and wearable products (e.g.
nylon, spandex, neoprene).

Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of occurrences of injury associated with simulated baseball play
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Algorithms will be developed to quantify injury associated with common baseball injures from subjects wearing the prototype device and participate in a simulated game.
Participants will pitch approximately 30-45 times using varying pitch types.

Motion Capture Data Quantification common to baseball play
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Motion-capture data on movements common to baseball play will be captured from participants wearing the device.
Participants will be fitted with 51 infrared reflective markers to enable tracking of limb, torso, and head movement while actions are performed.
Movement data will be video recorded and recorded with 12 Motion Analysis Raptor IR cameras
