Hamstring injuries: prevention and treatment\u2014 an update<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n

Based on:
\nHamstring injuries: prevention and treatment -an update, Peter Brukner,Br J Sports Med 2015 49: 1241-1244 \u00a0doi: 10.1136\/bjsports-2014-094427<\/a><\/p>\n

While the concept of eccentric muscle training has been an\u00a0important component of the rehabilitation process for many years, it now appears that these exercises must be in the lengthened position.<\/p>\n

This makes sense when you think that the majority of hamstring muscle injuries are located in the long head of biceps femoris, a muscle that straddles both the hip and knee joints.<\/p>\n

The standard leg curl exercise, therefore, does not work the long head sufficiently. As a result, lengthening eccentric exercises such as the Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE)<\/a>, the Romanian dead lift<\/a> and Askling\u2019s \u2018extender\u2019, \u2018diver\u2019 and \u2018glider\u2019 exercises<\/a>\u00a0are now becoming the mainstay of post injury rehabilitatio\"Sk\u00e6rmbilleden\"Sk\u00e6rmbillede<\/a><\/p>\n

Two papers have proposed parameters by which hamstring rehabilitation programmes can be created<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.
\nMalliaropoulos et al suggested the following parameters\u2014injury mechanism, hip or knee dominant, location, targeted muscle, length rather than strength, training parameters\u2014should be considered when devising a rehabilitation protocol.<\/p>\n
