Abstract
The throwing motion is accomplished through use of the kinetic chain. Rehabilitation of should injuries should involve evaluation for and restoration of all kinetic chain deficits that may hinder kinetic chain function. Rehabilitation programs focused on eliminating kinetic chain deficits and soreness should follow a proximal-to-distal pattern in which lower extremity impairments are addressed in addition to the upper extremity impairments. A logical progression focusing on flexibility, strength, proprioception, and endurance with kinetic chain influence is recommended.
