BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown evidence of residual scar tissue at the
musculotendon junction following an acute hamstring strain injury, which could influence re …

Objective The objective of this study was to use magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to
investigate long-term changes in muscle and tendon morphology following a hamstring …

Hamstring strain injuries often occur near the proximal musculotendon junction (MTJ) of the
biceps femoris. Post-injury remodeling can involve scar tissue formation, which may alter …

Background Hamstring muscle strain is one of the most common injuries in sports. Still,
knowledge is limited about the progression of clinical and magnetic resonance imaging …

Objectives: To investigate possible links between aetiology of acute, first time hamstring
strains in sprinters and dancers and recovery of flexibility, strength, and function as well as …

Hamstring strain re-injury rates can reach 30% within the initial two weeks following return to
sport (RTS). Incomplete recovery of strength may be a contributing factor. However, relative …

BACKGROUND: While hamstring strain injuries are common during sprinting, the
mechanisms of injury are not well understood. In this study, we analyzed the running …

It is well recognised that the hamstrings are susceptible to acute strain injury during high-
speed running. However, the particular phase of the sprinting gait cycle at which hamstring …

Background Hamstring strains can be of 2 types with different injury mechanisms, 1
occurring during high-speed running and the other during stretching exercises. Hypothesis …

Background: Hamstring injuries are common in sprinters. Identifying preseason risk factors
is essential to target injury-prone athletes and develop injury preventive measures …
