Acute hamstring injuries remain common in sports, with high re-injury rates. This study introduces a new, objective, step-by-step rehabilitation algorithm using functional tests to improve return-to-sport outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Acute hamstring injuries are the most common muscle injuries in sports.
  • Current rehabilitation strategies have failed to reduce injury and re-injury rates over the past 28 years.
  • Existing approaches often rely on symptom management and lack functional relevance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel, evidence-based model for hamstring injury rehabilitation.
  • To provide a structured, step-by-step algorithm for return-to-sport progression.
  • To integrate objective, quantifiable clinical and functional tests into the rehabilitation process.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a clinical commentary presenting a rehabilitation algorithm.
  • Inclusion of objective and quantifiable clinical and functional tests.

  • Structuring the model into a step-by-step algorithm with integrated treatment protocols.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed model utilizes objective testing for athlete progression.
    • Each step in the algorithm is linked to specific treatment protocols.
    • The model aims to facilitate safe and effective return to sport.

    Conclusions:

    • A multi-factorial, objective approach is needed for hamstring injury rehabilitation.
    • The proposed algorithm offers a foundation for future research in objective testing.
    • This model aims to improve athlete outcomes and reduce re-injury rates.
