Hamstring injury is one of the most common injuries in both recreational and professional sport leading to lost training and competition time. This course will review mechanisms of injury and risk factors, discuss criteria for establishing a return to play timeline utilizing relevant evidence and critical reasoning, and propose interventional training and activities to reduce the risk of recurrent injury. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT, PTA and AT.
Editor's Note: Regarding Pennsylvania credits, this course is approved by the PA State Board of Physical Therapy for 1.5 hours of general and .5 hours of Direct Access CE credit.
