In this study, we examined hamstring muscle activation at different running speeds to help
better understand the functional characteristics of each hamstring muscle. Eight healthy …

Background Complete proximal hamstring avulsions can cause considerable morbidity and
are often associated with significant functional loss. Hypothesis Early surgical treatment …

Background The medial hamstring muscle has the potential to prevent excessive dynamic
valgus and external rotation of the knee joint during sports. Thus, specific training targeting …

Background Physicians evaluating hamstring strains in professional football players are
increasingly turning to magnetic resonance imaging to support the clinical diagnosis and …

Aim The present study evaluated whether the MRI parameters of hamstring injuries in male
professional football players correlate with time to return to play (RTP). Methods 46 elite …

Sports injuries are among the most common injuries and therefore present a significant
public health problem. Physiologic processes after injuries are often neglected while much …

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for detailed evaluation of hamstring
injuries; however, there is no classification that allows prediction of return to play. Purpose …

Muscle injuries are common and often occur during sport or training with over 90% caused
by excessive strain or contusion [1]. A 5-year study of European soccer players showed …

Overuse Injuries of the Musculoskeletal System, Second Edition presents a complete
overview of the methods of diagnosing and treating the overuse injuries that affect the …

Proximal‐distal differences in muscle activity are rarely considered when defining the activity
level of hamstring muscles. The aim of this study was to determine the inter‐muscular and …
