Risk Stratification Care for Injury Prevention in Taiwan Adolescent Baseball Players

In this group, Taiwanese adolescent baseball players are categorized into high-risk, medium-risk, and low-risk groups based on injury risk from a previous study. High-risk players receive sports protection education and physician referrals for shoulder and elbow assessments, with further imaging if necessary. Common issues like Little League shoulder and elbow are managed with conservative treatments. The sports protection education includes the Modified Yokohama Baseball-9 (mYKB-9), a program that significantly reduces injuries with exercises targeting shoulder and elbow health. Medium-risk players receive mYKB-9 education only, while low-risk players are observed without changes to their training methods.
