Implication

May guide targeted hamstring injury prevention; leaves open validation in human biomechanical studies.

Structured PICO

Population

13 embalmed cadavers (anatomical study) and 10 healthy adults (physiological study)

Intervention

Anatomical dissection and physiological measurement (knee flexor torque and surface electromyographic signals during isometric contraction)

Outcome

Anatomical architecture (fiber length per total muscle length, decrease of total muscle length per fiber length) and physiological activity (EMG activities at different knee angles, EMG per physiological cross-sectional area)surrogate

Anatomical and physiological characteristics of the biceps femoris long head make it the most susceptible to muscle strain among the hamstring muscles.
