Current evidence is insufficient to determine effective hamstring injury prevention strategies. More high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm findings, especially for manual therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Injury Prevention
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Hamstring injuries are common in physically active individuals, particularly in sports like football.
  • Effective prevention strategies are crucial to reduce injury incidence and associated healthcare costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the effectiveness of interventions aimed at preventing hamstring injuries in physically active populations.
  • To evaluate the quality of existing evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of randomized or quasi-randomized trials.
  • Included trials focused on hamstring injury prevention or lower limb injury prevention with reported hamstring injury data.
  • Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated.

Published on: May 1, 2018

Main Results:

  • Seven RCTs with 1919 participants were included; some had methodological limitations.
  • Four trials directly targeted hamstring injury prevention.
  • Hamstring strengthening protocols showed contradictory results; manual therapy showed potential but requires confirmation.

Conclusions:

  • Insufficient evidence exists from RCTs to conclude on the effectiveness of current hamstring injury prevention interventions.
  • Further high-quality research is necessary, particularly to validate the role of manual therapy.
