Background Hamstring strain injury (HSI) burdens athletes due to high occurrence and recurrence rates. Previous surface EMG evidence suggests reduced voluntary activation (VA) may contribute to high ...

Background: Many injury prevention and rehabilitation programs aim to train hamstring and quadriceps co-activation to constrain excessive anterior tibial translation and protect the anterior cruciate ...

Return-to-sport testing after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is heavily strength-based. If quadriceps and hamstrings torque normalize and limb asymmetry falls below accepted ...

Muscle fatigue and lateral deficit are associated with the risk of hamstring injuries (HSIs) (McCall et al. 2014). Frequent testing of hamstring strength (HSS) can help prevent HSIs. Pilot testing ...

After poring over decades of research, a team of scientists in Australia believes it has pinpointed the missing link in hamstring injury rehabilitation: neuromuscular training. Neuromuscular training ...

Symptoms of tight hamstrings can include stiffness and limited mobility. People may also notice cramping, pain, swelling, and bruising. They are usually the result of exercise or other intense forms ...

A hamstring tear injury is a rip in the hamstring muscles. It happens when the hamstrings are overstretched or overloaded with too much weight. Depending on the injury, the hamstring can tear ...

The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate whether hamstring-quadriceps co-activation altered knee joint motion and limited ACL elongation during a step-up task. Although preliminary, the ...
