Anatomy and Physiology of Hamstring Injury [PDF]

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2012
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 study, hamstring muscles of 13 embalmed cadavers were dissected. For the physiological study, the knee flexor torque and surface electromyographic (EMG) signals were measured ...

Knee muscle strength and movement biomechanics in individuals with and without knee pain after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A cross‐sectional study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Anterior cruciate ligament injury increases the risk of knee osteoarthritis, possibly via early onset of knee pain and changes in musculoskeletal function. This study compared knee muscle strength and movement biomechanics during walking and forward lunge between individuals with and without knee pain after anterior cruciate ligament ...

Age is not a primary risk factor for ACL injury—A comprehensive review of ACL injury and reinjury risk factors confounded by young patient age

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Revision surgery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL‐R) is hypothesized to be the result of an interplay between factors associated with the anatomy, physiological characteristics and environment of the patient. The multifactorial nature of revision ACL‐R risk is difficult to quantify, and evidence regarding the independent ...

Rehabilitation guidelines after autograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction need more graft‐specific exercise recommendations—A scoping review

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Autografts for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are primarily harvested from the quadriceps, patellar, and semitendinosus tendons. The purpose of this scoping review was to describe available recommendations for exercise‐based rehabilitation following primary ACLR with a quadriceps tendon (QT), semitendinosus tendon (ST)
