The proximal musculo‐tendinous junction (MTJ) is a common site of hamstring strain injury
but the anatomy of this region is not well defined. A morphometric analysis of the proximal …

Understanding the architecture, anatomy, and biomechanics of the hamstrings may assist in
explaining the mechanisms that affect and improve their function. The aim of this review is to …

Purpose The anatomical appearance of the hamstring muscle complex was studied to
provide hypotheses for the hamstring injury pattern and to provide reference values of origin …

Proximal hamstring injuries occur during eccentric contraction with the hip and the knee on
extension; hence they are relatively frequent lesions in specific sports such as water skiing …

The structural and functional differences of individual hamstrings have not been sufficiently
evaluated. This study aimed to clarify the morphological architecture of the hamstrings …

Hamstring muscle injuries are the most prevalent among athletes who engage in sprinting
activities. Their most frequent location is where the long head of the biceps femoris joins with …

The architecture of the biceps femoris (BF) and stiffness of the hamstrings have been found
to be associated with injury risk. However, less is known about the architecture of the equally …

Muscle morphology is an important contributor to hamstring muscle injury and malfunction.
The aim of this study was to examine if hamstring muscle-tendon lengths differ between …

The hamstring muscles were analyzed anatomically and physiologically to clarify the
specific reasons for the incidence of muscle strain of the hamstrings. For the anatomical …

Hamstring strains are a frequent injury in sports and are characterized by a high recurrence
rate. The aim of this review was to examine the muscle and tendon architecture in …
