Hamstring Torque, Velocity and Power Elastic Band Measurements during Hip Extension and Knee Flexion

The quantitative dynamic monitoring of the performance of hamstring muscles during rehabilitation and training cannot currently be undertaken using elastic resistance bands. Hip extension with a fully extended knee involves hamstring agonists, while knee flexion involves only the hamstring. The purp...
