Effects Of Game Pitch Count And Body Mass Index On Pitching Biomechanics In 9-To 10-Year-Old Baseball Athletes, Jim D. Darke, Eshan M. Dandekar, Arnel L. Aguinaldo, Scott J. Hazelwood, Stephen M. Klisch
Effects Of Game Pitch Count And Body Mass Index On Pitching Biomechanics In 9-To 10-Year-Old Baseball Athletes, Jim D. Darke, Eshan M. Dandekar, Arnel L. Aguinaldo, Scott J. Hazelwood, Stephen M. Klisch
Biomedical Engineering
Background: Pitching while fatigued and body composition may increase the injury risk in youth and adult pitchers. However, the relationships between game pitch count, biomechanics, and body composition have not been reported for a study group restricted to 9-to 10-year-old athletes.
Hypothesis: During a simulated game with 9-to 10-year-old athletes, (1) participants will experience biomechanical signs of fatigue, and (2) shoulder and elbow kinetics will correlate with body mass index (BMI).
Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Thirteen 9-to 10-year-old youth baseball players pitched a simulated game (75 pitches). Range of motion and muscular output tests were conducted before and …

Virtual Stethoscope/Otoscope Duo, Camila P. Monchini, Paige R. Mazur, Christian Navarro
Biomedical Engineering
The virtual stethoscope/otoscope duo is a medical device intended to allow patients to be seen by their medical provider via internet consultations from the comfort of their own home. This device allows patients to substitute in-person doctor visits by checking a patient’s cardiovascular, respiratory, and auditory health. This document is the statement of work for the virtual stethoscope/otoscope duo and contains information on similar products, patents, and relevant literatures containing virtual technologies that assist in patient diagnosis. Product specifications and other details for the device such as performance evaluation review techniques can also be found within this document outlining the …
