【 摘 要 】

/Purpose: Lower extremity balance deficits have been shown to lead to altered kinematics and increased injury risk in lower extremity athletes. The purpose of this study was to compare lower extremity balance in baseball players with an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tear pre‐operatively and post‐operatively at the beginning of the pre‐return to throwing program stage of rehabilitation (3 months).
