“…(B) Electromagnetic principle (fESWT): a strong, variable magnetic field is generated by passing a high electric current through a coil (4). This causes a high current in an opposed metal membrane (5), which causes an adjacent membrane (6) with surrounding liquid to be forced rapidly away. Because the adjacent membrane is highly conductive, it is forced away so rapidly that the compression of the surrounding liquid generates a shock wave within the liquid.…”

Is Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy Combined with a Specific Rehabilitation Program (rESWT + RP) More Effective than Sham-rESWT + RP for Acute Hamstring Muscle Complex Injury Type 3b in Athletes?

Background: Acute injuries of the hamstring muscle complex (HMC) Type 3b (interfascicle / bundle-tear) are frequently observed in various sports disciplines both in elite and recreational sport. The treatment of choice of acute HMC injuries Type 3b is a progressive physiotherapeutic exercise program. Besides this, there is currently only insufficient scientific evidence to support other treatment methods, including local infiltrations and injections of platelet-rich-plasma. Very recently it was demonstrated that extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) may accelerate regeneration after acute skeletal muscle injury. The aim of the present study is to test the hypothesis that the combination of radial ESWT (rESWT) and a specific rehabilitation program (RP) is effective and safe in treatment of acute HMC injury Type 3b in athletes, and is statistically significantly more effective than the combination of sham-rESWT and RP. Methods/Design: We will perform a double blind, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial at the clinic KinEf Kinesiología Deportiva, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Fourty patients with acute HMC injury Type 3b will be randomly allocated to receive either rESWT (nine rESWT sessions; three sessions per week; 2500 radial extracorporeal shock waves (rESWs) per session; energy density depending on what the patient tolerates) or sham-rESWT. In addition, all patients will receive a specific rehabilitation program that will last for eight weeks. The primary outcome measure will be the individual time (days) necessary to return to play. Secondary outcomes will include the presence or absence of reinjury during a time period of six months after inclusion into the study. Discussion: Because of the lack of adequate treatment options for acute HMC injury Type 3b in athletes and particularly the high reinjury rate, we hypothesize that the results of this trial will be of importance and have impact on clinical practice. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT03473899. Registered March 22, 2018.

“…On the other hand, a higher score was observed than in the other items. Lohrer et al 12 also pointed to this tendency for item 3 to score higher. Impairments of gait may be different depending on the location of the injury in the hamstring muscle, as well as its severity.…”

“…Lohrer et al 12 also studied a soccer player population, although there are slight differences in the age of the subjects who had hamstring muscle injury, who were slightly younger, as well as in the competition category. This could have explained the differences in the observed Spanish version of the Functional Assessment Scale for acute hamstring injury scale scores between these versions.…”

“…It was developed following the recommendations of the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) initiative. 11 Currently, it is the only specific scale for acute hamstring injuries, and it is available in the Greek, English 10 and German 12 languages. To our knowledge, however, a Spanish version of the Functional Assessment Scale for acute hamstring injury is not available.…”

Objective: To cross-culturally adapt and validate the Functional Assessment Scale for acute hamstring injury for professional Spanish-speaking soccer players. Design: Clinical measurement study. Cross-cultural adaptation was conducted following international recommendations. Indicators of validity, reliability and responsiveness are provided. Subjects: The Spanish version of the Functional Assessment Scale for acute hamstring injury scale was administered to 165 participants: 45 professional soccer players with acute hamstring muscle injury diagnosis, 40 healthy subjects, 40 individuals at-risk for a hamstring muscle injury and 40 patients with injuries of the lower limb other than hamstring muscle injury. Main measures: The Functional Assessment Scale for acute hamstring injury. Reference measures: Spanish version of the Quality of Life Short-Form 36 questionnaire (SF-36) and the Lower Limb Functional Index (LLFI). Results: Cronbach’s alpha (internal consistency) for the Spanish version of the Functional Assessment Scale for acute hamstring injury scale was >0.8. The intraclass correlation coefficient using the two-way random model (ICC2,1) (test–retest) was 0.993 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.991–0.995; P < 0.05). In the exploratory factor analysis, a one-factor solution explained 85% of the variance. Subjects with hamstring muscle injury scored significantly lower than the other groups in the Spanish version of the Functional Assessment Scale for acute hamstring injury scale (P < 0.001). The Spanish version of the Functional Assessment Scale for acute hamstring injury scale score within the hamstring muscle injury group showed moderate and significant correlations with SF-36 physical components (Spearman’s rs > 0.6; P < 0.001), and LLFI score at baseline (rs = 0.42; P < 0.01). The standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimum detectable change threshold (MDC95%) were 2.6 and 7.2 points, respectively. The responsiveness indicators have an effect size of 3.62, and the standardized response mean is 3.24. Conclusion: The Spanish version of the Functional Assessment Scale for acute hamstring injury scale showed satisfactory psychometric properties. It can be considered a reliable and valid instrument to assess the functional impact of acute hamstring muscle injury in professional Spanish-speaking football players.

“…Acute injuries of the hamstring muscle complex (HMC) are frequently observed in various sports disciplines both in elite and recreational sport [1–3], and are the most common injury in soccer (e.g., [4, 5]). Despite intensive research into prevention and management of acute HMC injury during the last decade, epidemiological data show no decline in injury and reinjury rates [6].…”
