Description
Aïda Cadellans-Arróniz and co-authors review how sports hamstring injuries are rehabbed, based on the published record. The hamstring is the big muscle group at the back of the thigh, and tears are common in sport. The team searched three databases for programs used on tears treated without surgery.
A total of 137 papers made the cut, yet over half carried a low level of proof, and many left out key program details. Strength and stretch work were the most common parts. Rules for when an athlete can play again appeared in less than half the core studies, often based on pain alone. Forty distinct rehab plans were found, a spread the authors say must narrow.
