Mechanisms of Hamstring Strain Injury: Interactions between Fatigue, Muscle Activation and Function
Isolated injury to the long head of biceps femoris is the most common type of acute hamstring strain injury (HSI). However, the precise hamstring injury mechanism (i.e., sprint-type) is still not well understood, and research is inconclusive as to which ...

High Intensity Therapeutic Laser Induced Changes in Cross-sectional Area of Hamstring Muscle: A Case Report [PDF]
Ultrasonography can provide a clear depiction of Muscle Thickness (MT) and Cross-sectional Area (CSA) while monitoring muscle contraction. Estimating muscle contraction through ultrasonography with physiotherapy interventions has shown to be a beneficial

The hamstring muscle complex [PDF]
AbstractPurposeThe anatomical appearance of the hamstring muscle complex was studied to provide hypotheses for the hamstring injury pattern and to provide reference values of origin dimensions, muscle length, tendon length, musculotendinous junction (MTJ) length as well as width and length of a tendinous inscription in the semitendinosus muscle known ...

Exposure of a tendon extracellular matrix to synovial fluid triggers endogenous and engrafted cell death: A mechanism for failed healing of intrathecal tendon injuries [PDF]
Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of normal synovial fluid (SF) on exposed endogenous tendon-derived cells (TDC) and engrafted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) within the tendon extracellular matrix. Methods: Explants from equine
