 Materials and methods. This study is a case report from of a patient who has a hamstring strain with complaints of pain and decreased range of motion of the knee joint. Physiotherapists provide ultrasonic therapy with isometric contraction exercises on the hamstring muscles for 4 sessions for 2 weeks.
 Results. Ultrasound therapy and isometric contraction exercises increased the range of motion of the knee joint by 60% (active) and 50% (passive). Pain reduction also occurred by 83% for active motion pain and 80% for passive motion pain.
 Conclusions. The physiotherapy interventions with ultrasonic therapy and isometric contraction exercise therapy is in accordance with the early stage rehabilitation for the case of hamstring strains. With the interventions, the patient experienced a decrease in pain and an increase in Range of Motion from the knee joint

Summary
This study is a case report from of a patient who has a hamstring strain with complaints of pain and decreased range of motion of the knee joint. Cedera yang cukup sering terjadi pada saat berolahraga adalah strain pada otot hamstring (Opar et al, 2012). Fisioterapis dapat memberikan penanganan secara komprehensif dalam hal cedera strain hamstring. Penanganan awal strain hamstring yang benar oleh fisioterapi akan menentukan kondisi lanjutan pasien. Prinsip penanganan awal pada cedera olahraga adalah pengurangan gejala seperti nyeri dan peningkatan lingkup gerak sendi (LGS) (Schmitt et al, 2012). Studi ini bertujuan melaporkan penanganan awal fisioterapis pada pasien dengan kondisi strain hamstring yang direkomendasikan dalam penanganan awal pada kondisi cedera olahraga. Penelitian ini adalah bentuk case report terhadap seorang pasien yang mengalami strain hamstring di klinik fisioterapi di Jakarta Utara pada bulan Juni 2012. Pasien juga menandatangani inform consent antara peneliti dengan pasien dalam hal publikasi hasil terapi
