• 1 other identifier: Injured Hamstring Muscles
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 24
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The aim of this study protocol is to describe the rationale and methodology for evaluating the effect of using therapeutic exercises and ultrasound in the rehabilitation of partially injured hamstring muscles on elite football players.

Conditions

Hamstring Injury

Keywords

Therapeutic exercises, Hamstring muscle injuries, TUS; Therapeutic exercises; Hamstring muscle injuries; TUS

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Time to return to play

  The primary outcomes will be speedy healing, that is, the amount of time needed to recover from an injury in order to fully participate in team training and be available for match selection by the medical staff based on five standardized criteria: 1. no pain on palpation 2. pain free Range of Motion (ROM) 3. Muscular strength evaluation 4. Symptom-free completion of rehabilitation program 5. A specific running test.

  Daily session from first therapy session until moment of return to play, up to an average of Six Weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Hamstring muscle strength

  Daily session from first therapy session until moment of return to play, up to an average of Six Weeks

• Muscle bio potential signals

  Daily session from first therapy session until moment of return to play, up to an average of Six Weeks

• Degree of pain

  Daily session from first therapy session until moment of return to play, up to an average of Six Weeks

Study Arms (2)

analyse its effectiveness on the speedy healing

EXPERIMENTAL

analyse its effectiveness on the speedy healing, which will be defined through some physical variables (hamstring muscle strength, the electrical activity of hamstring muscles) and pain perception.

Other: Therapeutic Exercises and Ultrasound
