Bent Knee Stretch Test | Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy<\/h2>\nThe clinical assessment of chronic proximal hamstring tendinopathy in athletes is a challenge to sports medicine.\nCacchio et al. (2012)<\/a> evaluated the reliability and validity of the Bent-knee stretch test to diagnose proximal hamstring tendinopathy in athletes with the presence of symptoms for at least 6 months. They compared their findings to the clinical diagnosis of an expert physician confirmed by means of MRI and found both a high intra- and inter-rater reliability above 0.8 and good accuracy with a sensitivity of 84% and a specificity of 87%.\n\nAlthough this test has good accuracy values, the fact that this is the first and only study evaluating this test makes us give it a moderate clinical value in practice for now until more research can confirm its high accuracy.\n

Then the examiner slowly straightens the patient\u2019s knee.\n\nThis test is rated positive if the patient\u2019s familiar symptoms are exacerbated.
