Relationships of hamstring muscle volumes to lateral tibial slope.

摘要: Abstract Background Greater posterior–inferior directed slope of the lateral tibial plateau (LTS) has been demonstrated to be a prospective ACL injury risk factor. Trainable measures overcome greater LTS need identified for optimizing prevention protocols. It was hypothesized that Healthy individuals with who have not sustained an would larger hamstring volume. Methods Eleven healthy females (mean +/- standard deviation) (1.63 ± 0.07 m, 62.0 ± 8.9 kg, 22.6 ± 2.9 years) & 10 males (1.80 ± 0.08 m, 82.3 ± 12.0 kg, 23.2 ± 3.4 years) underwent magnetic resonance imaging left knee and thigh. LTS, semitendinosus muscle volume, biceps femoris long head volume were obtained from data. Results After controlling potential sex confounds (R2 = .00; P = .862), lesser femoris-long indicative (R2 ∆ = .30, P = .008). Conclusions muscular morphologic profile includes This may biomechanical strategy relies more heavily on force generation is less reliant medial hamstring. Level evidence IV.
