Soft tissue movement and physical function in orthopedic patients
This study looks at how soft tissue movement relates to physical function in people with different orthopedic conditions, including hamstring injuries, flatfoot, and elbow ligament reconstruction. It may help doctors better understand recovery and improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old (for the hamstring injury part) or 18 to 80 years old (for the flatfoot part) or 18 to 35 years old (for the elbow part).
- You have had a hamstring injury in the past 6 months, or you have flexible flatfoot, or you have had elbow ligament reconstruction surgery.
- You are active in sports or physical training (for the hamstring and elbow parts).
- You have no other serious lower limb injuries or surgeries (for the hamstring and flatfoot parts).
- You have no systemic diseases like arthritis or diabetes that could affect soft tissues.

This study compares two rehabilitation approaches for footballers recovering from ACL surgery, hamstring strains, or ankle sprains. It aims to find the best way to safely return to club or regional football.
This trial tests whether a new ultrasound method (speckle tracking) can measure soft tissue movement and strain to help guide physical therapy. It is looking for three groups: male pitchers, people with a foot tendon problem needing surgery, and people who had ACL knee surgery.
This study tests if adding blood flow restriction (using a cuff that limits blood flow) to a standard hamstring exercise helps elite teen athletes build strength and prevent injury. You would perform the Nordic Hamstring Exercise twice, once with and once without the cuff, so researchers can compare the effects.
This study compares two hamstring-strengthening programs to see which one works better for athletes. If you join, you'll do one of the training routines and help researchers find the best way to prevent hamstring injuries.
This study compares two types of Nordic hamstring exercises—one with blood flow restriction and one without—to see which better helps elite young female pole vaulters strengthen their hamstrings and reduce injury risk.
This study looks at what is happening inside muscle tissue after calf or hamstring injuries (new, long-term, or after an Achilles tendon rupture). It may help researchers understand why injuries come back and how muscle healing could be improved.
