Throwing motion in young baseball players may actually protect shoulder
Adaptive changes occur in the arm bone and soft tissue of the shoulders of young athletes participating in youth baseball and help protect them against injury. view more (2007-07-16)
Rush University Medical Center Orthopedic Experts Examine Overhead Throwing Injuries
Baseball season is underway. With the pros, college and high school teams taking to the baseball diamonds and Little Leaguers soon to follow, orthopedic specialists at Rush University Medical Center are cautioning players to be aware of and take precautions against throwing injuries. view more (2009-04-09)
Study suggests preseason shoulder strength may determine injury severity for baseball pitchers
Athletic injuries can derail any player's ability to compete, but for a baseball pitcher his shoulder strength and control is critical. view more (2009-07-10)
Analysis of windmill pitching shows risk of injury to biceps in softball players
Contrary to common belief, softball pitching subjects the biceps to high forces and torques when the player's arm swings around to release the ball, according to an analysis of muscle firing patterns conducted at Rush University Medical Center. view more (2009-03-25)
Study finds pitching mound height affects throwing motion, injury risk
A study involving several Major League Baseball pitchers indicates that the height of the pitcher's mound can affect the athlete's throwing arm motion, which may lead to potential injuries because of stress on the shoulder and elbow. view more (2008-03-24)
Comeback to a pre-injury level disappointing for professional baseball players
Only 45 percent of baseball players were able to return to the game at the same or higher level after shoulder or elbow surgery, according to new research released today during the 2008 American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Specialty Day at The Moscone Center. view more (2008-03-10)
Modified ligament surgery improves outcomes for baseball pitchers, other athletes
In the largest study of its kind, surgeons at Hospital for Special Surgery have determined that by modifying a classic ligament surgery, they can return more athletes, such as baseball players, to their prior level of competition. view more (2007-03-01)
A Vast Right Arm Conspiracy? Study Suggests Handedness May Effect Body Perception
There are areas in the brain devoted to our arms, legs, and various parts of our bodies. The way these areas are distributed throughout the brain are known as "body maps" and there are some significant differences in these maps between left- and right-handed people. view more (2009-11-05)
Study questions assumptions about human sensitivity to biological motion
Humans may not be any more sensitive in detecting biological motion compared with nonbiological motion, concludes a study recently published in Journal of Vision, an online, free-access publication of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO). view more (2007-10-18)
Perceptual learning relies on local motion signals to learn global motion
Researchers have long known of the brain's ability to learn based on visual motion input, and a recent study has uncovered more insight into where the learning occurs. view more (2009-09-22)
New technology developed at Barrow Neurological Institute enhances MRI capabilities
Researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix have developed a new method that allows technicians to obtain clearer Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans with less sensitivity to patient motion. view more (2006-01-05)
How the octopus forms an elbow
The octopus arm is extremely flexible. Thanks to this flexibility-the arm is said to possess a virtually infinite number of "degrees of freedom"-the octopus is able to generate a vast repertoire of movements that is unmatched by the human arm. view more (2006-04-18)
Vibrating computer games should carry health warnings
Prolonged use of vibrating computer games by children may be linked to a condition known as hand-arm vibration syndrome and should carry health warnings, suggest researchers in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-30)
Primate culture is just a stone's throw away from human evolution, study finds
For 30 years, scientists have been studying stone-handling behavior in several troops of Japanese macaques to catch a unique glimpse of primate culture. view more (2009-01-13)
Scientists find color vision system independent of motion detection
The vision system used to process color is separate from that used to detect motion, according to a new study by researchers at New York University's Center for Developmental Genetics and in the Department of Genetics and Neurobiology at Germany's University of Würzburg. view more (2008-03-20)
Overwhelming Vote FOR GM Technology
110 people attended the debate; students, scientists and the general public. Each of the speakers was allowed 10 minutes to present their case and this was followed by an hour-long question and discussion session. Only one vote was needed with an overwhelming 90 votes in favour of the motion and only 20 against. view more (1999-11-03)
Lightning and electric shocks may increase risk of motor neurone disease
Some cases of motor neurone disease may be sparked by an electric shock or lightning, suggests research in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry. Motor neurone disease is a progressive degenerative disorder, which eventually results in paralysis of muscles in the body. At present, there is no cure for the disease, and what causes... view more... (2001-07-18)
Barrow scientists solve 200-year-old scientific debate involving visual illusions
Neuroscientists at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center have discovered a direct link between eye motions and the perception of illusory motion that solves a 200-year-old debate. view more (2008-11-21)
NYU chemists create 'nanorobotic' arm to operate within DNA sequence
New York University chemistry professor Nadrian C. Seeman and his graduate student Baoquan Ding have developed a DNA cassette through which a nanomechanical device can be inserted and function within a DNA array, allowing for the motion of a nanorobotic arm. view more (2006-12-08)
Brain's center for perceiving 3-D motion is identified
Ducking a punch or a thrown spear calls for the power of the human brain to process 3-D motion, and to perceive an object (whether it's offensive or not) moving in three dimensions is critical to survival. It also leads to a lot of fun at 3-D movies. view more (2009-07-21)
