No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of two rehabilitation protocols with different emphasis on eccentric exercises after acute hamstring muscle strain injuries on the time to return to sports (RTS) and the rate of re-injuries in male athletes.

The hypothesis is that the addition of early eccentric hamstring exercises being performed at longer muscle-tendon length towards end range of motion alter the outcomes RTS and re-injuries in a rehabilitation protocol after acute hamstring muscle strain injuries.
