Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Main study parameters are EMG measurements of eight different muscles and
ground force measured on the force plate.
Secondary outcome
not applicable
Background summary
It is hypothesized that intermuscular coordination of the lower limb in
athletes with hamstring muscle injury is significantly different from the
intermuscular coordination of the lower limb in athletes without injury,
measured with a maximum voluntary vertical jump.
Study objective
Do athletes with hamstring injuries have different intermuscular coordination
of the lower limb when compared to the intermuscular coordination of the lower
limb of athletes without hamstring injury during maximal vertical jumping?
Also, is the intermuscular coordination of the lower limb different of the leg
with hamstring injury when compared to the leg without hamstring muscle injury
when performing a maximal vertical jump?
Study design
This study is an observational pilot study, comparing the outcomes of
intermuscular coordination of the lower limb of athletes with hamstring muscle
injury to the intermuscular coordination of the lower limb of athletes without
hamstring muscle injury.
Study burden and risks
Athletes with hamstring muscle injury as well as athletes without hamstring
muscle injury have to visit the laboratory of the Sophia Rehabilitation Centre
once to perform 3 maximal vertical jumps. Risks are negligible for both
groups.
