How can I use ArmCare data to adjust my pitching mechanics?Updated 2 months ago
ArmCare data provides objective feedback on arm strength, fatigue levels, and asymmetries, helping pitchers and coaches fine-tune mechanics for efficiency and injury prevention.
Adjustments can be made based on:
Fresh Exam & Post Exam Data: Identifies fatigue, strength imbalances, or power deficits after throwing sessions.
Warning & Watch Alerts: If an athlete has a watch alert (moderate fatigue) or warning alert (high fatigue), mechanics may be compensating for weakness, requiring workload or technique adjustments.
Strength-Velocity Ratio: If velocity is high but strength is low, mechanics may be placing excessive stress on the UCL.
Arm Primer & Recovery Metrics: Helps identify if an athlete’s throwing mechanics need adjustment due to early fatigue onset or reduced post-throwing recovery.
Example Adjustment:
If an athlete shows declining strength in the external rotators post-throw, their mechanics may be placing excessive stress on the shoulder. Coaches should analyze their arm slot, pronation timing, and follow-through to reduce stress.
