Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how intramuscular stiffness in the hamstrings affects muscle strain during passive hip flexion, aiming to understand why strains occur.
- Researchers measured the stiffness of three hamstring muscles in healthy participants and found that the proximal area (closer to the hip) was the least stiff and contributed the most to muscle strain.
- The findings suggest that variations in stiffness within the hamstrings may increase the risk of strain injuries, especially in the proximal region during activities that involve hip flexion.
