The Intra- and Inter-rater Reliability of an Arm Care Screening Tool in High School Baseball Coaches

# Background Preseason movement screening can identify modifiable risk factors, deterioration of function, and potential for injury in baseball players. Limited resources and time intensive testing procedures prevent high school coaches from accurately performing frequent movement screens on their...
