  • SUMMARY: Request for trunk reference

    As usual BIOMECH-L proves to be an incredible resource. The original
    post is as follows:





    A strange request to be sure:

    Some time late last year, I remember reading an abstract relating to
    trunk and pelvic rotation parameters (in the transverse plane) as they
    relate to throwing performance. The concept is similar to the so called
    “X-factor” (1) that golfers discuss.

    I am however unable for the life of me to find the reference or where I
    saw it. I certainly would appreciate any help in this regard, and if I
    find it, of course I will make it available to the group.

    Thanks in advance,

    Rod Whiteley, PhD Candidate, University of Sydney

    I should’ve pointed out that I was aware of Stodden et al’s1 elegant
    work, as several correspondents including (embarrassingly) Mr Dave
    Stodden, and Mr Stephen Lyman pointed me in the direction of their 2001
    paper in J Appl Biomech. This paper is of course required reading for
    anyone vaguely interested in the area of kinematics of throwing.

    Nitin Patel made me aware of a short note by Scott Nadler2 which wasn’t
    really what I was after. Ms Michelle Sabick pointed me to a paper
    presented at Calgary in 20023 which I’d not previously seen, but will
    endeavour to read as soon as I can get my hands on it.

    And finally, Mr Arnel Aguinaldo gave me a link to the paper I had seen
    that evening: HYPERLINK

    andiegogaitlab.com/chp/pitching_abstract03.pdf

    It would appear to be unpublished (or at least I can’t find it via
    either of MEDLINE or CINAHL) so I’ll try to chase him for more
    information.

    For the life of me though, I still can’t think how it was that I
    happened to be browsing this page….

    Thanks again to all those who helped,

    Rod Whiteley.
