Technical Details
- Variable Type: Movement Flag
- Data Type: Integer
- Units: N/A
- Column Name:
release_phase_elbow_not_straight - Optimal Direction: Lower is better
- Unknown Value: -1
- Measurement: Non-dominant elbow flexion angle at Ball Release
- Threshold: Non-dominant elbow flexion angle greater than 30°
Description
Release phase elbow not straight is a binary indicator that flags when the non-dominant (tossing) elbow is bent more than 30° at the instant of ball release. Releasing the ball with a bent elbow can reduce the consistency and height of the ball toss.Use Cases
- Toss arm mechanics assessment
- Mechanics evaluation
