To investigate the differences in maximal (isometric and concentric peak torque) and explosive (rate of torque development (RTD)) hamstring and quadriceps strength symmetry between males and females d...
A total of 38 female and 51 male participants were assessed during early (3-6 months post-operative) and late (7-12 months post-operative) phases of rehabilitation following ACLR. Maximal (concentric ...
Maximal concentric hamstrings asymmetry (Early: 86 ± 14; Late 92 ± 13; p = 0.005) as well as maximal concentric (Early, 73 ± 15; Late 91 ± 12; p < 0.001) and explosive (Early: 82 ± 30; Late: 92 ± 25; ...
Explosive hamstring strength asymmetry did not improve despite recovery of maximal hamstring strength during rehabilitation following ACLR with HT autografts. While sex did not influence strength reco...

All patients at our clinic who had surgery for PHA between January 2015 and March 2018 were included in this study. A suspected clinical diagnosis of PHA was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. P...
A prospective case series study was performed. A total of 156 patients were included. Median age (first quartile; third quartile) was 54.2 years (44.7 years; 61.3 years), and the mean ± SD time of the...
PHAS is a valid and reliable tool for follow-up after PHA surgery. It also offers a simple way to predict RTS....
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) considered as one of the most common degenerative diseases of synovial joint. KOA is mostly managed by physical therapy, focused on pain management, the range of motion and m...
Forty eight patients with KOA were randomly allocated to group A receiving DTSM and group B receiving PNF stretching. The cryotherapy and isometric strengthening exercises were also given to both grou...
The between group analysis of VAS, right AKE test, and left AKE test showed non-significant (p > 0.05) mean difference as 0.2 (95% CI= -0.29, 0.70), 1.79 (95% CI= -1.84, 4.59), 1.78 (95% CI= -1.6, 5.1...
DSTM and PNF stretching, both treatments are equally beneficial in KOA for hamstring flexibility, pain reduction and functional mobility in terms of AKET, VAS, and KOOS respectively....

Muscle mass loss occurs following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery....
To compare the gain in muscle strength in the quadriceps and hamstring muscles in patients following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, using exercises with and without blood flow rest...
This is a randomized controlled trial, in which 50% (n = 14) of the participants were allocated to the intervention group and the remaining 50% (n = 14) to the control group. The study included the pa...
After comparing the rehabilitation of the groups, a statistical difference was observed in the quadriceps with an increase in muscle strength (p < 0.01) after 12 weeks and an increase in muscle streng...
After anterior cruciate ligament surgery, exercises with blood flow restriction proved more efficient for improving the muscle strength of the quadriceps and hamstrings, and the physical function of t...
The aim of this study was to determine whether the inclusion of a very low volume (1 set of 3 maximal repetitions) of eccentric-biased Nordic hamstring program of 21 weeks induced an increase in maxim...
The primary aim of this study was to describe eccentric hamstring strength magnitude and asymmetry at the time of return-to-sport (RTS) after an index hamstring strain injury (HSI) and determine if th...

Maximum hamstring eccentric strength for each limb, total maximum strength summed across limbs, and between-limb asymmetry at the time of RTS following the index HSI, assessed using the NordBord Hamst...
Of the 60 index HSIs, 8 (13%), and 11 (18%) re-injuries occurred within 1 and 3-months of RTS, respectively. There were no differences between those who did and did not re-injure in maximum eccentric ...
Eccentric hamstring strength and asymmetry measured at the time of RTS did not differ between those who did and did not re-injure within 3-months of RTS....
The Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) reduces hamstring injury incidence. Compliance to large exercise volumes of the NHE is poor, with exercise related soreness often seen as a contributing factor. We ...
Dynamic stretching for more than 90 seconds is useful for improving muscle strength, although dynamic stretching for 30 seconds or less is commonly used in sports settings. The effects of dynamic stre...
The pudendal nerve lies near the origin of the hamstring muscles, placing it at increased risk of injury during proximal hamstring tendon repair. In this study, we report on a 56-year old man who expe...
Although the risk of pudendal nerve injury during proximal hamstring tendon repair is rare, surgeons should be aware of this potential complication....
Limited research reveals that the use of different soft tissue mobilization techniques increases tissue mobility in different regions of the body....
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a difference between administering instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) and therapeutic cupping (TC) on hamstring tightness....
Subjects attended one session wherein treatment and leg order were randomized before attending the session. A statistical analysis was completed using a 2 (intervention) × 2 (time) repeated-measures a...
Thirty-three subjects between the age of 18-35 years old with bilateral hamstring tightness participated in this study....
The IASTM and TC were administered on different legs for 5 minutes and over the entire area of the hamstring muscles. One TC was moved over the entire treatment area in a similar fashion as the IASTM....
The intervention measurements included soreness numeric rating scale, Sit-n-Reach (single leg for side being tested), goniometric measurement for straight-leg hip-flexion motion, and superficial skin ...
There was a main effect over time for Sit-n-Reach, measurement (pre-IASTM-29.50 [8.54], post-IASTM-32.11 [8.31] and pre-TC-29.67 [8.21], post-TC-32.05 [8.25]) and goniometric measurement (pre-IASTM-83...
