Effect of isokinetic fatigue protocol of quadriceps and hamstring muscles on some of the predictive variables of knee anterior cruciate ligament injury [PDF]

بیولوژی کاربردی, 2018
Background and objectives: Muscle fatigue may lead to imbalance and dysfunction of muscles. On the other hand, measuring imbalances between muscles should not be limited to measuring strength as it is not only parameter indicative of muscle function ...

Effect of stretching on hamstring muscle compliance

Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2009
To evaluate the effects of stretching on hamstring muscle compliance indirectly and directly.Twelve healthy men were instructed to perform passive stretching of one leg daily over 4 weeks, while the other leg served as a control. An instrumental straight leg raise was used to measure stretching force and muscle compliance indirectly with surface ...

Reduced Muscle Strength Can Alter the Impact of Gait Modifications on Knee Cartilage Mechanics

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Muscle strength can substantially influence knee joint loading, stability, and cartilage biomechanics, all of which are important factors in the onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Noninvasive rehabilitation methods, such as gait modifications, are suggested to effectively alter knee joint loading, potentially helping to ...

Higher isokinetic quadriceps peak force is associated with a patient‐acceptable symptom‐state 1 and 3 years after ACL reconstruction

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The main purpose was to determine cut‐off values for absolute (QNm/kg) and relative (QLSI) isokinetic knee extensor (KE) strength for achieving a patient‐acceptable symptom state (PASS) in the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales and for different age groups to determine the association between QNm/kg and QLSI ...

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.

Relationships among hamstring muscle optimal length and hamstring flexibility and strength

Journal of Sport and Health Science, 2017
Hamstring muscle strain injury (hamstring injury) due to excessive muscle strain is one of the most common injuries in sports. The relationships among hamstring muscle optimal lengths and hamstring flexibility and strength were unknown, which limited our understanding of risk factors for hamstring injury.

Poor knee strength is associated with higher incidence of knee injury in adolescent female football players: The Karolinska football injury cohort

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the association between common measures of trunk and lower extremity range of motion (ROM), strength, the results of one‐leg jump tests at baseline and the incidence of subsequent substantial knee injuries in adolescent female football players.

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–
