Background: Functional activities mostly done in daily life such as jumping, walking, running, and stairs ascending-descending require dynamic stability of the knee. The knee joint is required to have effective efficient functional avoid injury when performing them. It can be achieved by increasing muscle strength through strengthening exercises with aim balancing agonist muscles (quadriceps fe...

Objective: To examine the causes and incidence of hamstring tightness/shortness among undergraduate physical therapy students. Cross-sectional study. Institute Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, DUHS during period Jan 2019 to Jun, 2019. Material Methods: The subjects sample size (n=248) was estimated by open EPI software. Male female both are included. Hamstring muscle shortness assessed a...

Background: Cricket has gained popularity in our country; INDIA, thus the number of players also increased. requires a combination physical fitness, skill, and strategy. A tight hamstring is one causes Back pain, SIJ, Hamstring muscle strain, PFS, patellar tendinopathy. The extensibility important for optimal joint function. Loss flexibility as decrease ability to deform, resulting decreased RO...

To investigate the effect of tension on the contractive force of muscle and nerve conduction velocity of the repaired nerve, this study was designed. Fifty-four Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. The left gastrocnemius muscles of the rats were dissected with the neurovascular pedicles intact; the tibial nerves were cut and immediately repaired by epineurial suture. Th...

Failure of conservative treatment is the usual indication for the reconstruction of a knee with deficiency of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and this depends on subjective judgement. The ability of muscles to protect the subluxing joint by reflex contraction could provide an objective measurement. We have studied 30 patients with unilateral ACL deficiency by measuring the latency of refle...

INTRODUCTION Hamstring strain injuries are common in sports that involve high-speed running. It remains uncertain whether the hamstrings are susceptible to injury during late swing phase, when the hamstrings are active and lengthening, or during stance, when contact loads are present. In this study, we used forward dynamic simulations to compare hamstring musculotendon stretch, loading, and wor...
