Ankle

Ankle Sprains in Baseball

The Ankle Joint is a common injured joints in baseball. Approximately 80% of ankle injuries involve stretching or tearing the anterior talofibular ligament also referred to as a Grade I Inversion Injury. When the calcaneal fibular ligament is also involved, it is referred to as a Grade II Inversion Injury. Laced ankle braces with figure 8 strapping has been shown to support the ankle and help prevent or reduce the severity of this common problem. The addition of figure 8 straps also give the brace further stability and adjustability, similar to a taping. Stirrup hinged braces provide additional rigidity, but are limited due to the availability of space in a baseball cleat.

Knee

Knee Injuries in Baseball

According to the AAOS (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 19.4 million doctor visits occurred in 2003 due to knee problems. Ligament injuries to the knee are common in baseball, as the sport involves running and sliding with cleated shoes. These forces on the knee can result in abnormal motion, causing ligament tears and joint disruption. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) are the most often injured in baseball. ACL injuries occur due to sudden twisting and hyperextension of the knee. LCL & MCL injuries are caused by rotation of the knee with the foot dug into the ground.

Elbow

Elbow Injuries in Baseball

Overuse injuries are the most common condition seen in Baseball. Throwing a baseball involves complex movements of the arms, legs and torso. Improper conditioning, poor technique and too many pitches can lead to a wide range of hand/wrist, elbow and shoulder problems. Many braces found at The Brace Shop are designed to support these overuse syndromes and allow a more successful return to activity. Many hinge style braces are designed to control range of motion during a post-surgical or post-injury situation.

Shoulder

Shoulder Anatomy

The shoulder has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body. The shoulder joint is surrounded by four muscles and their tendons. These are collectively referred to as the rotator cuff. Tears of the rotator cuff are common in baseball, caused by overuse and abnormal motion of the shoulder joint. The Brace Shop has a complete line of post-operative, post-injury and preventative bracing to help in the recovery of most any shoulder condition.

Hand/Wrist

Hand/Wrist Injuries in Baseball

Overuse injuries of the wrist are tendonitis, nerve conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and, in children, fractures of the growth plates. These injuries develop over time from constant stress from snap-and-twist motions of the wrist. One of the simplest method of preventing wrist injuries is a simple wristband that wraps around the wrist and puts compression on the tendons and ligaments of the wrist.
