Study Notes
Viva Voce Stations
- There are 4 stations with a possible 8 injuries.
- 2 stations are acute injuries.
- 2 stations are chronic injuries.
Viva Injuries
- Anterior Cruciate Knee ligaments injury
- Elbow joint dislocation
- Hamstring strain
- Ankle sprain
- Patella tendonitis
- Osgood-Schlatters syndrome
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Chondromalacia patellae
Hamstring Strain Anatomy
- Hamstring strain is an injury to muscles at the back of the thigh.
- These muscles include the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus.
Hamstring Strain Mechanisms
- Overstretching of muscle fibres occurs at the origin of the muscle on the ischial tuberosity (sit bone, bottom of pelvis).
- This occurs during maximal sprints or eccentric contractions while running.
- The most vulnerable position is right before heel strike/push off.
Hamstring Strain Predisposing Factors
- Age
- Previous injury
- Poor hamstring strength
- Reduced hip range of motion (ROM)
- Tight muscles (without a warm-up)
- Fatigue
Hamstring Strain Rehabilitation/Treatment
- Injections
- Physiotherapy/exercise program
Hamstring Strain Treatment Options
- Eccentric Nordic training (10 weeks)
- Balance exercises (muscle control)
- Surgery (scar tissue removal)
