“…Tests that measure strength, ROM, and pain can provide a reasonable estimate of rehabilitation duration in injuries involving the intramuscular tendon and adjacent muscle fibers [39,43]. However, for injuries to the proximal free tendon, the amount of impairment identified from these tests does not predict the recovery time needed to return to preinjury level [16].…”

Background Muscle strains are one of the most common complaints treated by physicians. High-force lengthening contractions can produce very high forces resulting in pain and tissue damage; such strains are the most common cause of muscle injuries. The hamstring muscles are particularly susceptible as they cross two joints and regularly perform lengthening contractions during running. We describe a patient with return to full function after a large hamstring tear. Case Description We report the case of a 26-year-old man who presented 1 year after a noncontact, left-sided proximal hamstring tear incurred while sprinting. He received no medical treatment or formal rehabilitation. He was able to return to all sports and activities 1 to 2 months after injury, but noted a persistent deformity of the proximal thigh, which led him to seek evaluation. Physical examination, MRI functional tests, and specific muscle tests 1 year after his injury documented a major hamstring tear at the musculotendinous junction with muscle retraction, but no avulsion of the proximal tendon attachment. Literature Review Surgery often is recommended for major proximal hamstring tendon tears, especially when more than one tendon of origin is ruptured from the ischial tuberosity. Myotendinous tears are treated nonoperatively, but may be associated with decreased strength, prolonged recovery, and recurrence. Purpose and Clinical Relevance We describe the case of a young man who sustained a hamstring tear, with retraction, at the proximal myotendinous junction, where the biceps femoris and semitendinosus arise from the conjoint tendon. He achieved full functional recovery without medical attention, but had a persistent cosmetic deformity and slight hamstring tightness. This case suggests a benign natural history for this injury and the appropriateness of noninvasive treatment.

“…It has been shown that grade running demands a high energy turnover 10 , possibly due to a poor running economy 11 . Inclined running imposes a di erent mechanical pattern 12 , as compared with level running and the former pattern relies more on concentric muscle contractions. Based on these facts, a more pronounced lactate accumulation is expected when running at a steeper grade.…”

“…However, it also is apparent that within subjects heavy to severe exercise intensities -such as during an incremental test to exhaustion -eventually lead to increases in total (aerobic + anaerobic) energy costs that are not proportional to increases in work 9 . It is well established that grade running demands a high energy turnover 10 possibly due to a worsening running economy 11 and imposes a different mechanical pattern 12 , as compared with level running. e original studies by M et al [4][5] involved both level and grade treadmill running.…”

The popularity of running as a recreational sport for health gains has steadily increased. Runners may acquire several types of injuries including hip osteoarthritis (OA). Running is possible with mild forms of OA if proper joint mechanics, neuromuscular control, and technique are present. Recent literature will be discussed that builds upon previously published articles regarding forces encountered at the hip joint during running. This article will outline the biomechanics and necessary muscle forces during running, and theories regarding strengthening and neuromuscular control. Perspectives on treatment, based on known evidence and our clinical reasoning are presented.

Abstract: These data suggest that compared with LSSF and LSS, INC provides enhanced muscular loading of key mono- and bi-articular muscles during both swing and stance phases.
