Trial Outcomes & Findings for Throwing Device Tracker for Youth Injury Prevention (NCT NCT04098107)

NCT ID: NCT04098107

Last Updated: 2024-06-25

Results Overview

The number of pitches thrown were tracked and counted visually during data collection. The actual pitch count was then compared to the pitch count logged by the device algorithm to determine the accuracy of the algorithm in detecting pitching events.

Baseline characteristics by cohort
Measure
Throwing Device Phase 1
n=10 Participants
Subjects were asked to wear the prototype device during a simulated baseball game (approximately 30-45 pitches), and then perform a set of other baseball-specific movements while fitted with infrared markers for throwing analysis. This information to help us develop a small wearable device that collects and tracks information (such as force) about throwing movements during youth athletic activity to identify and track arm fatigue

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: Our criteria for success was the accuracy of pitching event detection, which was 98.6%

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Throwing Device Phase 1
n=10 Participants
During Phase 1, subjects that have been recruited, consented, and enrolled will come to the biomechanics laboratory for throwing performance housed at the University of Pennsylvania (Human Motion Laboratory) on the day of their appointment. Subjects will be asked to wear the prototype device during a simulated baseball game (approximately 30-45 pitches), and then will perform a set of other baseball-specific movements while fitted with infrared markers for throwing analysis. This data will be used to develop and refine the algorithm for the prototype. Throwing Device: The Innovative Design Labs ( IDL) PhySens will be used to monitor the physical motions of subjects during standard sports-related actions (e.g. throwing a baseball). For this test, the PhySens Carrier will be attached via clothing rivets to a fabric sleeve or strap made of compliant materials commonly used in clothing and wearable products (e.g. nylon, spandex, neoprene).
