Objectives To assess the ability of quantitative T2, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and
radiologist's scores to detect muscle changes following acute muscle tear in soccer and …

Background Soleus muscle injuries are common in different sports disciplines. The time
required for recovery is often difficult to predict, and reinjury is common. The length of …

Traumatic muscle injuries are one of the most common problems faced by athletes,
accounting for up to 31% of sports-related professional injuries. 1, 2 These injuries cause up …

Sport-related muscle injury classifications are based basically on imaging criteria such as
ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without consensus because of a …

Abstract Background and Objective Muscle injuries are one of the main daily problems in
sports medicine, football in particular. However, we do not have a reliable means to predict …

Background: Injury to the distal musculotendinous T junction (DMTJ) of the biceps femoris is
a distinct clinical entity that behaves differently from other hamstring injuries due to its …

Hamstring strain injury (HSI) is one of the most commonly reported sports injuries. This has
led to a substantial amount of research aimed at identifying factors that increase the risk of …

Purpose: Limb dominance and consequent between-limbs muscle strength in soccer
players should be explored to determine a standard musculoskeletal profile to maintain and …

Context: Hamstring muscle injury location using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not so
well described in the literature. Objective: To describe the location of hamstring injuries …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound are the imaging modalities of choice to
assess muscle injuries in athletes. Most authors consider MRI as the reference standard for …
