Pitchers Wanted For FREE Throwing Arm Study At PBI

Professional Baseball Instruction & the Baseball Health Network are looking for 25 pitchers, ages 11-17, to participate in a FREE research study being conducted by BHN Founder Steve Hayward and Dr. Christopher Ahmad, Team Physician of the New York Yankees.

The study is designed to detect early warning signs of youth elbow injuries and to help protect the millions of kids playing baseball around the world.

The study will take place on December 18th from 6-9 pm at Professional Baseball Instruction, 107 Pleasant Ave, Upper Saddle River, NJ. Each participant will select a time slot and each individual session will take 15-20 min.

Each pitcher will be required to fill out a brief pitching and medical history and then receive a FREE ultrasound of both the throwing and non throwing elbows. Ultrasounds will be administered by attending radiologists from Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City.

***The radiologists DO NOT want to know whether you are right or left handed.

There is NO throwing or physical activity required. Please wear a short sleeve t-shirt for the ultrasound.

There is NO COST for this study; we just need your help to gather enough data to reduce the epidemic of arm injuries throughout the United States.

We will take the first 25 players to register for the Baseball Health Network Elbow Study. To register, please fill out the form below or call TOLL FREE 800-282-4638 ext 100.
