Abstract: Lower back pain (LBP) is common among baseball players, and the occurrence of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration is high. The dynamic load on the lumbar spine due to the postures and movements characteristic of baseball is suspected of aggravating LBP caused by degeneration, but the difference in batting action between players with and without degeneration is not known. The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in batting motion in the presence and absence of lumbar disc degeneration (LDD). The subjects were 18 male baseball players belonging to the University League Division I: seven with disc degeneration and 11 without. The motion task analyzed tee batting. The items examined were the angles of rotation of shoulder, pelvis, hip, and twisting motion; rotation angular velocity; time to maximum angular velocity; and muscle activity potentials of the bilateral latissimus dorsi, erector spinae, multifidus, external oblique, internal oblique, rectus abdominis, and gluteus medius muscles; at each stage of batting action. There were significant differences between the shoulder and pelvis in rotation angle, time to maximum angular velocity, and muscle activity in the presence and absence of LDD, and in the time to maximum angular velocity between the shoulder and pelvis. We infer that these differences are characteristic of batting motion due to LDD.
