This blog article describes some general principles of hamstring injury rehabilitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Management Principles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Train movements and muscles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The hamstrings consist of three individual muscles and they have different functional roles related to their anatomical position. In sprinting, the bicep femoris (BF) is subject to the largest strain, the semitendinosus (ST) to the greatest lengthening velocities and the semimembranosus (SM) acts predominantly as a force producer. Therefore, the prescribed exercises should be targeted to the injured muscle to develop these specific functional roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Prescribe strength exercises to achieve a specific goal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eccentric Training<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>High eccentric forces occur during the terminal swing phase of sprinting. Eccentric force deficits are modifiable risk factors for a future hamstring injury and thus the capacity for <strong>developing high eccentric force<\/strong> should be trained in rehabilitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Get long and strong<\/strong>. Fascicle shortening may predispose the hamstrings to (re-)injury and eccentric training may help to overcome this problem. High-volume eccentric training programs using the Nordic hamstring exercise previously showed good improvements in eccentric strength and fascicle lengthening but recent studies have demonstrated similar improvements with a low-volume program consisting of 2 sets of 4 repetitions once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta\" style=\"\">\n    <div class=\"cta__in\">\n        <div class=\"left\">\n            <div class=\"cta__content text-color-light\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"own-size\">THE BIG 3 &#8211; ADVANCED REHABILITATION OF HAMSTRING, QUADRICEPS, AND CALF MUSCLE- AND TENDON INJURIES<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t                <p><strong>Rehab &amp; Performance Expert Enda King Reveals His Secrets to Rehab the 3 Most Common Muscle &amp; Tendon Injuries<\/strong><\/p>\n                                        <div class=\"cta__button\">\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/study.physiotutors.com\/course\/the-big-3-advanced-rehabilitation-of-hamstring-quadriceps-and-calf-muscle-and-tendon-injuries\/\" class=\"button button-five\" target=\"_self\">\n                                    Learn More                                <\/a>\n                            <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"right\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.physiotutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/The-Big-3-mockup-full.png\" alt=\"\"\/>\n                <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Isometric Training<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the swing phase, the contractile element of the hamstrings may remain relatively isometric as the tendon mostly provides the lengthening of the muscle-tendon unit. <strong>A good isometric condition<\/strong> of the muscle reduces mechanical load and facilitates the spring-like behavior of the tendon during the stretch-shortening cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As fatigue is consistently associated with hamstring injuries and most injuries occur in the final third of sprint training sessions. Strength training under fatigued conditions to <strong>develop fatigue resistance<\/strong> has shown good reductions in injury rates. Isometric training of the hamstrings (for example with the single-leg Roman chair hold) can increase hamstring muscle endurance and may thus be a useful addition alongside the good old Nordic hamstring exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"832\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.physiotutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Schermafbeelding-2021-05-18-om-17.56.56.png\" alt=\"Schermafbeelding 2021 05 18 om 17.56.56\" class=\"wp-image-6116\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From: Macdonald et al. (2019)<br><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After an injury occurs, the body reacts by reducing myoelectric activity in the muscle as a protective mechanism to unload healing tissues. In some cases, this selective inhibition may persist and should be targeted in rehab. Here again, can isometrics come to the rescue to <strong>overcome selective muscle inhibition<\/strong> as it was shown that voluntary muscle activation is higher in these isometric contractions. It is advised to use high-load isometric exercises to improve motor unit recruitment. In injuries where pain and disability are predominantly present, isometric loading may be more feasible prior to eccentric loading of the tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"quote-with-background\" style=\"\">\n    <div class=\"quote-with-background__in\">\n\n        <svg width=\"30px\" height=\"25px\" viewBox=\"0 0 30 25\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n            <g id=\"Design\" stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n                <g id=\"08-blog-redesign\" transform=\"translate(-191.000000, -2974.000000)\" fill=\"#7973FF\" fill-rule=\"nonzero\">\n                    <g id=\"Group-7\" transform=\"translate(80.000000, 2893.000000)\">\n                        <g id=\"\u201c\" transform=\"translate(111.000000, 81.000000)\">\n                            <path d=\"M6.4,25 C4.42666667,25 2.86666667,24.3743344 1.72,23.1230032 C0.573333333,21.871672 0,20.2609159 0,18.2907348 C0,17.2790202 0.173333333,16.2539936 0.52,15.215655 C0.866666667,14.1773163 1.49333333,12.513312 2.4,10.2236422 L6.48,0 L12.8,0 L10,12.5399361 C11.9733333,14.0841321 12.96,16.001065 12.96,18.2907348 C12.96,20.2076677 12.3466667,21.8051118 11.12,23.0830671 C9.89333333,24.3610224 8.32,25 6.4,25 Z M23.44,25 C21.4666667,25 19.9066667,24.3743344 18.76,23.1230032 C17.6133333,21.871672 17.04,20.2609159 17.04,18.2907348 C17.04,17.2790202 17.2133333,16.2539936 17.56,15.215655 C17.9066667,14.1773163 18.5333333,12.513312 19.44,10.2236422 L23.52,0 L29.84,0 L27.04,12.5399361 C29.0133333,14.0841321 30,16.001065 30,18.2907348 C30,20.2076677 29.3866667,21.8051118 28.16,23.0830671 C26.9333333,24.3610224 25.36,25 23.44,25 Z\" id=\"Shape\"><\/path>\n                        <\/g>\n                    <\/g>\n                <\/g>\n            <\/g>\n        <\/svg>\n       <div class=\"quote-with-background__content heading-three\">\n            <p class=\"heading-four\">A good isometric condition of the muscle reduces mechanical load and facilitates the spring-like behaviour of the tendon during the stretch-shortening cycle.<\/p>\n       <\/div>\n       <div class=\"quote-with-background__info\">\n                   <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<!--    <div class=\"quote-with-background__background\">-->\n<!--        <svg width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" viewBox=\"0 0 849 447\" version=\"1.1\" preserveAspectRatio=none xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">-->\n<!--            <g id=\"Design\" stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">-->\n<!--                <g id=\"08-blog-redesign\" transform=\"translate(-80.000000, -2893.000000)\" fill=\"#F1F5FD\">-->\n<!--                    <g id=\"Group-7\" transform=\"translate(80.000000, 2893.000000)\">-->\n<!--                        <polygon id=\"Rectangle\" transform=\"translate(424.500000, 223.500000) scale(-1, 1) translate(-424.500000, -223.500000) \" points=\"0 99.703192 849 -4.43831367e-13 849 347.296808 0 447\"><\/polygon>-->\n<!--                    <\/g>-->\n<!--                <\/g>-->\n<!--            <\/g>-->\n<!--        <\/svg>-->\n<!--    <\/div>-->\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Apply a multivariate model and target contributing factors to injury risk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As poor motor control of the pelvis may increase strain on the hamstrings and contributes to force production deficits, the lumbo-pelvic region should be trained as well. It is advised to train the lumbo-pelvic region in different planes of movement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"854\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.physiotutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Schermafbeelding-2021-05-18-om-18.12.40.png\" alt=\"Schermafbeelding 2021 05 18 om 18.12.40\" class=\"wp-image-6117\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From: Macdonald et al. (2019)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to the lumbopelvic region, the hip is also crucial in healthy hamstring function as weakness and reduced activation of the gluteus maximus are risk factors for hamstring injuries as well. Reduced hip flexion puts the hamstrings at risk for injury as the body compensates for this with increased pelvic rotation during high-speed running, thereby increasing strain on the hamstring muscles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum it up, in the rehab of hamstring muscle injuries you should train movements and muscles according to their specific roles, get muscles long and strong using eccentric exercises, and use isometrics to increase resistance to fatigue and optimize the stretch-shortening cycle. Next to this, don\u2019t forget to train the lumbopelvic region and hip muscles to further reduce injury risk.\u00a0We hope you enjoyed this article and hope these principles of hamstring injury rehabilitation can help you when treating people suffering from these injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Macdonald B, McAleer S, Kelly S, Chakraverty R, Johnston M, Pollock N.
