Neuromuscular Efficiency and Elbow Varus Torque Production in Baseball Pitchers: A Two-Tier Machine Learning Approach Integrating Electromyography and Biomechanical Analysis

Alexander B Britton, Brent Hokeness, et al.

2025

This study developed a two-tier machine learning framework to quantify the contribution of forearm muscle activation patterns to elbow varus torque beyond biomechanical kinematics alone. Stage 1 achieved R² = 0.764 using kinematic features, while Stage 2 explained ~30% of residual variance using EMG and isometric performance metrics, supporting a neuromuscular efficiency construct for personalized injury risk assessment.

Kinematic Analysis of a Four-Bar Linkage for Forward Stroke Motion

Christine Walck, Megan P Parker, Alexander B Britton, Douglas T Wingert

March 2025 DOI: 10.34297/AJBSR.2025.26.003442

This study introduces a novel four-bar linkage mechanism to improve adaptive kayak mounts for individuals with upper-body mobility impairments. Using motion capture technology to derive a Standard Stroke Profile, the design replicates natural forward kayak strokes with high accuracy (RMSE = 22.0 mm), addressing key limitations in existing adaptive sports technology.

About

At the center of how I try to live is discipline and commitment. I believe consistency matters more than intensity. Motivation comes and goes, but discipline keeps you moving forward when motivation is gone. Whether I'm learning something new, working through a difficult problem, or growing in my faith, I try to approach it the same way. Show up, be consistent, and focus on improving a little at a time.

My faith is a large part of who I am. I'm a Christian, and studying scripture shapes how I think about work, learning, and life. It gives me a framework for taking things seriously without losing sight of what any of it is actually for.

I studied mechanical engineering at Embry-Riddle and now build data pipelines and analysis tools. I'm drawn to environments with a lot of information but not yet a clear understanding. I'm still early in my career, still learning, and focused on developing both my skills and my character.

I try not to focus too much on titles or accomplishments. Those things change. What matters more is the kind of person you are becoming and the habits you build along the way. Stay curious, stay disciplined, keep pursuing truth. Progress usually follows.
