Abstract

Background: Recurrent hamstring injuries are a major problem in sport. Despite extensive research regarding risk factors underlying hamstring injury, recurrence rates remain high, suggesting our current understanding may be overlooking important neurophysiological factors. Recent evidence demonstrates disruptions in tactile, proprioceptive, and spatial neural (cortical) representations in athletes who develop persistent posterior thigh pain following a hamstring injury. It is possible these disruptions may contribute to poor recovery and hamstring injury recurrence.
