The hamstrings comprise the main muscle group. The role of the muscle group is to straighten the hip and bend the knee. As a matter of fact, it consists of a group of three muscles near the backside of your thigh making a connection between your leg and knee. The three muscles include biceps femoris, semmimembranosus and semitendinnosus. How does a Perth physio diagnose it? The diagnosis of the hamstring injuries begins with a complete understanding of the history of your health and the causes of your injury. Your physio in Perth will ask you several questions to find out about your health history. Then your physio in Perth will do a clinical evaluation, which will include tests and observations for the determination of the injury type you had. • Observation: for noting down any bruising and discoloration • Pain: for identifying your pain level and type of activities that improve or aggravate your pain • Palpation: for pinpointing the size and location of the soft area via touch that will figure out the injury severity • Range of motion: for comparing the movement of your injured legs with the health ones • Muscle strength: for determining the power of your hamstring muscles as you bend or straighten your hip and knee • Gait analysis: for noting down any pain or limping as you walk For the most part, hamstring injuries are divided into Grade III and I based on the injury severity. Grade I: normal strain along with less tearing; it feels like a cramping or pulled muscle Grade II: Normal strain along with in-part tearing. It may lead to a burning or stinging sensation in your thigh or back Grade III: in this case, a serious, total muscle tear can lead to a lump in your thigh If your Perth physio suspect a grave injury, he will refer you to a good orthopedic physician in order for medical tests, such as MRI and x-ray for the evaluation of the extent of the injury. In case of an ischial tuberosity or total muscle rupture, you may want to get surgery.
