The hamstring muscle complex [PDF]
Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2013 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 ...

Hamstring Muscles: Architecture and Innervation [PDF]
Cells Tissues Organs, 2005 Knowledge of the anatomical organization of the hamstring muscles is necessary to understand their functions, and to assist in the development of accurate clinical and biomechanical models. The hamstring muscles were examined by dissection in six embalmed human lower limbs with the purpose of clarifying their gross morphology.

Estimates of Stress Between the Hamstring Muscles [PDF]
Muscle Ligaments and Tendons Journal, 2020 © 2020, CIC Edizioni Internazionali s.r.l.. All rights reserved. Background. The cause of muscle damage and injury is often attributed to large strains. Studies have suggested that strain is the principal cause of muscle damage rather than force. Results. In this paper we show that force is the principal cause of muscle damage whereas strain is a means
