Abstract
The purpose of the study was to find out the physiotherapy management of hamstring strain among the athletes of Bangladesh. A mixed method followed to conduct this study. Data were collected from the Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP). Among the different types of injury the athletes of BKSP, about 10.49% athletes were suffered with hamstring injury. Among them, more common athletes were from Hockey (14.58%); Football (11.34%) and Cricket (3.85%) sports. Rehabilitation program consisting with length of type of exercises is more effective than a conventional protocol in promoting return to sports after acute hamstring injury. A similar hamstring strength, similar flexibility or range of motion, athlete should be certified as medically fit before returning to play, and other criteria as 80% isotonic knee flexion strength as compared with the normal opposite leg, no pain when sprinting, and having progressed through a sport-specific rehabilitation program. The management of hamstring strain depends on healing process of muscle strain. In addition, initiation of Nordic hamstring exercises may decrease the incidence of acute hamstring injuries and potentially decrease the total number of days missed due to injury in professional baseball players.
