You can do these within your pain limits. For any personal health or rehab questions we recommend to consult with our partners at yourphysio.online for a remote physiotherapy consultation.
Along w the exercises what about activity ? When to start walk vs jog vs sprint/full activity again? Do you have recommended protocol or did the Askling study address that component?
I have seen many PT's after my acl hammy graft surgery. After 7 years, my hammy is still very weak and can't sprint without straining the muscle. Thoughts? Thanks.
I am a limb salvage surgery patient from osteosarcoma cancer to the tibia and total knee replacement with an endoprothesis for a tibial replacement. No flexion in the hamstrings (so I can't straddle, sit on the back of my legs, etc) what, besides the hip flexors, is causing me not to properly engage my hamstrings?
+Tyjai Moon Ja wow sorry to hear that! Have you addressed this problem with your surgeon/doctor? Has this been addressed in your rehab post surgery? Do you know what has been done to the tendons of the hamstrings when you got your knee replacement?
No doctor. Last one I had kept me on pain meds for 7 years because they didn't understand muscle atrophy. You know what, I didn't think about the tendons being an issue. Guess that would make since seeing that they repositioned the medial gastroc to cover up the endoprothethic. I will have to go back and find the language of what they did exactly. I can say this, there seems to be more flexibility in the leg that has experienced trauma vs the normal leg. It takes a good while to feel a stretch (PNF, static or assisted) since there isn't too much control so I can extend further than I could on my normal leg.
When I do the drivers I always get pain in my m. biceps femoris tendon the days afther,and while I do them I get a feeling of almost cramping. I train my hamstrings regularly so they aren't weak. Do you know what the problem might be?
They might just be too short. If you only have mild pain 1 day then keep doing the exercises and you will probably notice a decline in pain in the following weeks. If pain lasts longer then 1 day after your exercise you should decrease intensity.
Do you think extra corporeal pulse activation technology(epat) is effective for hamstring injury...I get also heard stretching is bad for tendon injury..I ask you because you are the real deal...I don't trust chiros and most physios...I think I have tendonosis ...is there hope for me? Thanks
We found one RCT which supports shockwave in a group of athletes with chronic proximal hamstring tendinopathy with a mean duration of 20 months: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0363546510379324 There is some evidence for stretching. In our experience the key to successful management of tendinopathy is good load management.
Always subacute as hamstrings strains hopefully don't become a chronic issue. All exercises, of course, always depend on the level of irritability and skill of your patient as well!
Are these exercises to be used only as rehabilitation from a hamstring injury or can they be used as a program to help prevent hamstring injuries occurring?
Hi, I'm a physical therapist living in Milan, first, thanks for the video, second, I'd like to help translate the videos in italian but the explaining video doesn't work...
Yes, we'd be happy if you translated the videos. What exactly is not working? If you click on the cogwheel in the bottom right corner, just select subtitels and choose "Italian".
