Scapular Motion Across the Spectrum: Brachial Plexus and Youth Pitchers

Grant Recipient: Stephanie Russo, MD

Co-Investigators: Scott Kozin, MD

Institution:: UPMC, Hamot, Erie, PA

Presentations & Publications:

Presentations:

Based on the promising results from the brachial plexus cohort, the investigators plan to recruit an additional eight participants (total sample size of 20) for more robust testing of the model. The findings will be submitted for presentation and publication with the additional participants. Similarly, the data for the pitching cohort will be analyzed when data collection of the ten planned participants is completed. The findings from those participants will determine whether additional participants should be recruited to improve statistical power prior to submission for presentation and publication. An additional report will be submitted to POSNA when the data collection is complete.

Publications: See above.

Further Funding:: No further funding has been obtained at this time. However, based on the excellent findings for the brachial plexus cohort, the investigators are planning to pursue additional funding opportunities to continue this line of research.
