Pathology
Grade 1 = mild, pain and sensitivity usually day after. Rarely influences muscle power and endurance.
During end of swing phase hamstrings eccentrically contract to decelerate putting maximum tension on hamstrings.
Damage caused to the hamstring by rapid contraction or violent stretch. This can result in varying degrees of severity from a minor strain to full rupture.
Grade 3 = Ranges from more than half to full rupture. Massive swelling and pain with significantly impacted with great weakness.
Grade 2 = Half fibers torn, acute pain, swelling and mild function loss. Impact on gait, pain reproduction on palpation and resisted flexion.
Treatment
Don't stretch right away, gentle ROM. Pain free ROM. Everyday 3x12.
