The Relationship Between the Hamstrings to Quadriceps Strength Ratio and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Forces
… osteoarthritis (OA). Forces developed by the hamstrings and quadriceps have been found to decrease and increase forces on the ACL, respectively. Thus, some believe that the ratio of the strengths of these muscles groups (the H:Q strength ratio) is relevant when discussing ACL forces; a low H:Q …

The Severity of Obesity and Knee Osteoarthritis: Effects on Strength and Gait
… musculoskeletal model.27, 29 Quadriceps and hamstrings strength were assessed using an isokinetic dynamometer. Pair-wise Pearson correlations were computed between the outcome and explanatory variables. Generalized linear modeling was used to look for associations between the outcome and …

Quantification of muscle fatigue in cerebal palsy and its relationship to impairments and function
… with higher levels of muscle fatigability. Strength was directly related to muscle fatigability, where weaker subjects had lower levels of fatigue, regardless of muscle. Cocontraction and quadriceps stiffness, on the other hand, were inversely related to muscle fatigability. The strongest …

Movement patterns in the unstable total knee replacement
… (Rectus Femoris, Vastus Medialis and medial hamstrings) during 5-STS. Proportional activation (signifying how long a muscle was active for) was reported relative to total 5-STS completion time. Muscle activation patterns showed substantially increased proportional activation of the hamstrings …

Concussion, neck, and hamstring injury aetiology and injury prevention in Rugby Union
… injuries in Rugby Union. Neck and hamstring strength have been identified as a modifiable risk factor to decrease the severity and incidence of these injuries. As such, there is an increasing interest in strengthening the neck and hamstrings in Rugby Union for injury prevention purposes. Aims …
