Association between baseline clinical and MRI characteristics of hamstring muscle injury and risk of hamstring muscle injury recurrence
2023, Journal de Traumatologie du SportReliability and discriminative validity of real-time ultrasound elastography in the assessment of tissue stiffness after calf muscle injury
2021, Journal of Bodywork and Movement TherapiesCitation Excerpt :Moreover, several studies have stated that ultrasound and MRI follow-up, commonly used to verify the diagnosis and to estimate time away from sport measuring morphological changes, are not effective in identifying the injury recurrence risk. According to these studies, another reference for the prognosis of relapse risk may be based on clinical and functional parameters (Connell et al., 2004; Koulouris et al., 2007; Gibbs et al., 2004; Ekstrand et al., 2012; Cohen et al., 2011; De Vos et al., 2014; Heiderscheit et al., 2010; Mendiguchia and Brughelli, 2011; Moen et al., 2014; Petersen et al., 2014; Wangensteen et al., 2015; Jacobsen et al., 2016). These findings may be related to the fact that medical imaging techniques, such as the B-mode (brightness-mode) of conventional ultrasound and MRI reveals the macroscopic structure (i.e., the anatomy) of muscles, but they are not capable of evaluating the elastic properties of fibrotic scar tissue (Brandenburg et al., 2014).
The value of MRI STIR signal intensity on return to play prognosis and reinjury risk estimation in athletes with acute hamstring injuries
2021, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :Systematic reviews have shown that there is no strong evidence for commonly used Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters in predicting return to play (RTP) or reinjury risk.4,5 These MRI findings include but are not limited to: radiological grade,11 radiological size,6,7,8, absence of hyperintensity6,8,9 and radiological location and tendon involvement.7,10 It was shown that the majority of the correlations were found by univariate analysis, had a high risk of bias and were often conflicting.4,5
Maximal and submaximal isometric torque is elevated immediately following highly controlled active stretches of the hamstrings
2021, Journal of Electromyography and KinesiologyCitation Excerpt :Despite considerable interest in injury prevention and rehabilitation strategies, the incidence and recurrence of hamstring strain injuries remains high (Brooks et al., 2006). The biceps femoris long-head (BFlh) is the most commonly injured of the hamstring muscle group (Gibbs et al., 2004), and high-speed running, one of the most common injury mechanisms (Gabbe et al., 2006). A lack of isometric strength leading to a force eccentric lengthening during the late swing phase of high-speed running, or braking during the late swing phase of high-speed running are proposed as potential causes of injury (Van Hooren and Bosch, 2017a, Van Hooren and Bosch, 2017b).
