Hamstring strain
1. Hamstring Strain
Three muscles in the back of the thigh form the
hamstring. The hamstring can be over-stretched by
movements such as hurdling — kicking the leg out
sharply when running. Falling forward while
waterskiing is another common cause of hamstring
strains.
2. • Severity of a Hamstring Injury
• Hamstring strains are classified as first (mild), second (moderate), or
third (severe) degree strains depending on the extent of the muscle
injury. Here are the symptoms associated with each:
• Mild (Grade I) Hamstring Injury
• Muscle stiffness, soreness, and tightness in the back of the thigh
• Little noticeable swelling
• A normal walking gait and range of motion with some discomfort
• Flexing the knee to bring the heel up
• Moderate (Grade II) Hamstring Injury
• Gait affected, may have a limp
• Muscle pain, sharp twinges, and tightness in the back of the thigh
• Noticeable swelling or bruising
• Painful to the touch
• A limited range of motion and pain when flexing the knee
• Severe (Grade III) Hamstring Injury
• Pain during rest which becomes severe with movement
• Difficulty walking without assistance
• Noticeable swelling and bruising
3. Plan of Care
• Rest – keep your leg as still as you possibly can and avoid
physical activity. Your GP may recommend using crutches in
more severe cases.
• Ice – apply cold packs (a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a
tea towel will also work) to your hamstring for 15 to 20
minutes every two to three hours during the day. Don't
apply ice directly to your skin.
• Compression – compress or bandage the thigh to limit any
swelling and movement that could cause further damage.
You can use a simple elastic bandage or elasticated tubular
bandage available from a pharmacy.
• Elevation – keep your leg raised and supported on a pillow
as much as possible, to help reduce any swelling.
