Abstract

Hamstring strain injury (HSI) may result in considerable impairment, activity limitation, and participation restriction, including time lost from competitive sports. This CPG includes sports-related overloading and overstretching injuries to myofascial or musculotendinous structures in any combination of the 3 hamstring muscles (the semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris). J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2022;52(3):CPG1-CPG44. doi:10.2519/jospt.2022.0301.
