Despite increased knowledge of hamstring muscle injuries, the incidence has not diminished. We now know that not all hamstring injuries are the same and that certain types of injuries require prolonged rehabilitation and return to play. The slow stretch type of injury and injuries involving the central tendon both require longer times to return to play. A number of factors have been proposed as...

BACKGROUND Hamstring muscle strains represent a common and disabling athletic injury with variable recurrence rates and prolonged recovery times. OBJECTIVES To present the outcomes of a novel rehabilitation protocol for the treatment of proximal hamstring strains in an intercollegiate sporting population and to determine any significant differences in the rate of reinjury and time to return t...

Hamstring muscle strains are among the most common injuries in sport, but despite increasing research into the epidemiology, aetiology and management the rates of both injury and re-injury remain high. Typically, hamstring injury management is conservative, but recently the use of autologous platelet enriched plasma (PEP), has been proposed as a treatment tool which may optimise muscle regenera...

Objective. To investigate the relationship between knee muscle strength and the external knee adduction moment during walking in obese knee osteoarthritis patients and whether disease severity influences this relationship. Methods. This cross-sectional study included 136 elderly obese (BMI > 30) adults with predominant medial knee osteoarthritis. Muscle strength, standing radiographic severity ...

It is thought that time to peak torque and joint angle at parameters provide important data for the functional evaluation of quadriceps hamstring muscles. known studies with these are rare in literature. The aim this study investigate relationship between hamstring/quadriceps (H/Q) ratio, female football players. sample group consisted 20 footballers performing national women's league (3rd Divi...

This study aimed to report on a method for injecting botulinum toxin type A into the hamstring muscles combined with periarticular injection in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. We enrolled patients who underwent elective unilateral TKA at our hospital from February 2021 December and administered muscle injection. established reported detailed this approach, which could provide an alterna...

+MacLeod, T D; Snyder-Mackler, L; Axe, M J; Buchanan, T S + Center for Biomedical Engineering Research, University of Delaware, DE [email protected] ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is commonly performed with a cadaveric allograft (ALLO) or a hamstring semitendinosus-gracilis (STG) autograft. Knee flexor strength deficits following STG reconstruction are a g...
