Interactive Modelling of Volumetric Musculoskeletal Anatomy [PDF]

ACM Trans. Graph., Vol. 40, No. 4, Article 122. Publication date: August 2021, 2021
We present a new approach for modelling musculoskeletal anatomy. Unlike previous methods, we do not model individual muscle shapes as geometric primitives (polygonal meshes, NURBS etc.). Instead, we adopt a volumetric segmentation approach where every point in our volume is assigned to a muscle, fat, or bone tissue.

A prospective study of the muscle strength and reaction time of the quadriceps, hamstring, and gastrocnemius muscles in patients with plantar fasciitis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background Muscle weakness is an important etiological factor in plantar fasciitis (PF), but available data on the role of the quadriceps, hamstring, and gastrocnemius (GCM) muscles are limited.

An assessment of isometric muscle strength and the hamstring: Quadriceps ratio among males trained with free weights vs. machines

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity, 2022
Introduction. The purpose of this study was to assess the isometric muscle strength (IMS) of the knee extensors and flexors, bilateral asymmetry (BA) and the hamstring: quadriceps ratio (H:Q ratio) between the dominant leg (DL) vs. the non-dominant leg (

Effectiveness of hamstring stretching using a pressure biofeedback unit for 4 weeks: A randomized controlled trial [PDF]

Hong Kong Physiotherapy Journal, 2020
Background: Stretching and length test of hamstring muscles have been performed commonly to manage lower back pain (LBP) in sports rehabilitation. Previous literatures addressed that stretching techniques and length test of hamstring muscles should be ...

Hamstring muscle injury in the athlete: state of the art [PDF]

Journal of ISAKOS, 2021
Hamstring injuries (HSI) are the source of significant impairment and disability for both professional and recreational athletes. The incidence and prevalence of HSIs has been well documented in the literature, as they are among the most common soft tissue injuries reported. The significant time loss due to injury and the inherent risk of reinjury pose

The Influence of Hamstring Length on the Flexion-relaxation Phenomenon in Relation to the Erector Spinae Muscle During Trunk Flexion

Physical Therapy Korea, 2020
Background: The flexion-relaxation phenomenon (FRP) refers to a sudden onset of activity in the erector spinae muscles that recedes or fades during full forward flexion of the trunk.

Effects of flexibility and strength training on peak hamstring musculotendinous strains during sprinting

Journal of Sport and Health Science, 2021
Background: Hamstring injury is one of the most common injuries in sports involving sprinting. Hamstring flexibility and strength are often considered to be modifiable risk factors in hamstring injury.
