The following biomechanics project was designed to be a review of literature related to the most important skill in volleyball, the overhead spike, or attack. The literature has been reviewed and select articles dealing with the various components of the overhead spike are presented as exemplary and representative of the kids of biomechanical analyses that are available. Though not exhaustive i...

The skeletally immature athlete sustains upper extremity injuries unique to the epiphyseal plate, articular cartilage, musculotendinous units, and specific to the sport itself. Specific shoulder and elbow conditions can be predicted based on the biomechanics of the sport and age of the patient. In the young athlete, recognition of these unique injury patterns with early activity modification an...
