Abstract

Introduction

Hamstring injuries are the most prevalent non-contact soft tissue injury in sports, with a larger portion of injuries being recurrent. The sagittal plane running kinematics correlated to hamstring injury history has been well documented. However, analysis of frontal plane kinematics allows for observation of stability and symmetry. This study aimed to examine the frontal plane running kinematics of elite collegiate level sprinters, with and without previous hamstring injury, compared to healthy counterparts.

Methods

Thirty-nine participants performed three 50-m sprints, with three inertial measurement unit sensors placed on the pelvis: one on each iliac crest and one on the sacrum. Participants were classified based on sex, competitive status, and injury history. To investigate differences based on group classification, the data were used to analyze mediolateral motion (relative magnitude of mediolateral acceleration) and asymmetry (difference in acceleration between right and left iliac crests) during each stance phase throughout the run.

Results

Injured sprinters displayed significantly greater mediolateral motion and asymmetry during stances than healthy counterparts.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates that frontal plane running stance dynamics are different in athletes with previous hamstring injury than healthy athletes. These athletes may benefit from rehabilitation strategies targeting postural control and stability during dynamic tasks.

高速跑步过程中的正面平面骨盆运动学：与腿筋损伤史的关系。

引言：腘绳肌损伤是运动中最常见的非接触性软组织损伤，其中大部分是复发性损伤。与腘绳肌损伤史相关的矢状面跑步运动学已经有了很好的记录。然而，对正面运动学的分析允许观察稳定性和对称性。这项研究旨在检验精英大学级短跑运动员与健康运动员相比，在有或没有腿筋损伤的情况下的正面平面跑步运动学。方法：39名参与者进行了三次50米短跑，在骨盆上放置了三个惯性测量单元传感器：每个髂嵴一个，骶骨一个。参与者根据性别、竞技状态和受伤史进行分类。为了研究基于组分类的差异，数据用于分析整个跑步过程中每个站姿阶段的中外侧运动（中外侧加速度的相对大小）和不对称性（左右髂嵴之间的加速度差异）。结果：受伤的短跑运动员在姿势上表现出明显比健康的运动员更大的中侧运动和不对称性。结论：这项研究表明，有过腿筋损伤的运动员与健康运动员的前平面跑步姿势动力学不同。这些运动员可能受益于针对动态任务中的姿势控制和稳定性的康复策略。

期刊介绍： Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science. The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
