Webinar on Mechanism of Hamstring Injuries

Wednesday, January 29, 2025 at 9:00 AM PST



We are pleased to announce our upcoming webinar with Reed Gurchiek from Clemson University entitled “Hamstrings Stretch More in Accelerative than Constant-Speed Running.” Hamstring injuries are common in field-based sports with high reinjury rates. Recent evidence suggests they often occur during accelerative running, but investigations of hamstring mechanics have primarily considered constant and high-speed running. Dr. Gurchiek will present findings from a recently published study that utilized OpenCap<http://opencap.ai> to address this knowledge gap, leveraging a unique and more realistic dataset compared to prior research. This event will be hosted jointly with the Restore<http://restore.stanford.edu> and Mobilize<http://mobilize.stanford.edu> Centers on Wednesday, January 29, 2025 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time.
