Effectiveness of Electrical Muscle Elongation and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Programs on Muscle Flexibility and Stiffness in Young Adults with Functional Hamstring Disorder: A Randomized Clinical Trial with 4-Week Follow-Up

Life
Background: Adequate hamstring flexibility is crucial for musculoskeletal health as increased muscle tone can lead to stretch-type injuries, muscle weakness, dysfunctional neuromuscular control, postural changes, and lower back pain.

Correlation Between Quadriceps, Hamstring, Tibialis Anterior, and Gastrocnemius Muscle Activation, With Knee Flexion Angle In Basketball Athlete While Performing Double-Leg Landing Task

Surabaya Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Journal, 2020
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury cause great disability for athlete. Recent focus of ACL injury management is on prevention by identifying the risk factors. Most of basketball injury mechanism is non-contact, related to landing process

Effects of muscle energy technique and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretch technique on hamstring muscle flexibility in recreational athletes

Journal of the Scientific Society, 2022
Introduction: The most common muscle injury in sports is the hamstring muscle. It needs long rehabilitation and has a great possibility of recurrence as it has a great tendency to shorten. Stretching is the treatment used to improve muscular flexibility,

The Susceptibility of Tenocytes from Different Ages of Donors Towards Dexamethasone and Ascorbic Acid can be Screened in a Microfluidic Platform

Applied Sciences, 2019
Hamstring tendon is one of the best graft choices for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The upper age limit of reconstruction is not determined because tenocytes from old individuals have less proliferative ability than young ones. Dexamethasone

Influence of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear on Thigh Muscle Strength and Hamstring-to-Quadriceps Ratio: A Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Theoretical compensation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear could cause quadriceps weakness and hamstring activation, preventing anterior tibial subluxation and affecting the expected hamstring-to-quadriceps ratio.

Muscle and intensity based hamstring exercise classification in elite female track and field athletes: implications for exercise selection during rehabilitation [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Hamstring injuries are common in many sports, including track and field. Strains occur in different parts of the hamstring muscle but very little is known about whether common hamstring loading exercises specifically load different hamstring

Effect of a rigid ankle-foot orthosis on hamstring length in children with hemiplagia [PDF]

, 2002
Eighteen children with hemiplegia, mean age 8 years 5 months, underwent gait analysis and musculoskeletal modelling using specially designed software. The maximum lengths of the hamstrings were determined for each child walking in and out of an ankle–

Normal Variability of Weekly Musculoskeletal Screening Scores and the Influence of Training Load across an Australian Football League Season

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Aim: The sit and reach test (S&R), dorsiflexion lunge test (DLT), and adductor squeeze test (AST) are commonly used in weekly musculoskeletal screening for athlete monitoring and injury prevention purposes.

Gender-Based Analysis of Hamstring and Quadriceps Muscle Activation During Jump Landings and Cutting [PDF]

, 2010
This study evaluated gender differences in the magnitude and timing of hamstring and quadriceps activation during activities that are believed to cause anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.
