Background Hamstring muscles are the most frequently reported sites of muscle strain
injuries, especially near the bi-articular muscles' myotendinous junction, where aponeurosis …

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of using MyotonPRO to
quantify the mechanical properties of the muscle-tendon unit through in vivo measurements …

Lesions of the Musculotendinous Unit (MTU) are a common pathology in musculoskeletal
disorders and sports injuries which are a leading cause of functional impairment, long-term …

The incidence of hamstring muscle strain varies among muscles, suggesting that the
mechanical stresses associated with elongation may differ among muscles. However, the …

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 …

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 …

Background Proximal hamstring tendon avulsions (PHAs) may be treated nonoperatively or
operatively. Little is known about the result of the injury, and its treatment, on the quality and …

Flexibility of hamstring muscles is very important in sports which can be measured in many
tests. The relationship of each test for measuring on the hamstring muscles flexibility has not …

Context: Hamstring musculotendinous stiffness (MTS) is associated with lower-extremity
injury risk (ie, hamstring strain, anterior cruciate ligament injury) and is commonly assessed …

Hamstring strain injury is one of the most common injuries in athletes, particularly for sports
that involve high speed running. The aims of this study were to determine whether muscle …
