Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>- DTI derived parameters and characterization of changes in affected muscles,<br /><br>in the course of the hamstring injury on MRI.<br /><br>- Correlation of DTI data with relapse injury data (follow-up for 1 year),<br /><br>self-reports and clinical assessments.<br /><br>- Time to return to full sports activity; match play or training. TRTS is<br /><br>defined as the number of days from initial injury until the athlete is cleared<br /><br>to<br /><br>resume full unrestricted training. </p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>- Re-injury within 1 year after the initial injury<br /><br>- Clinical hamstring tests (including passive straight leg raising,<br /><br>active knee extension, active slump test, taking shoe out sign)<br /><br>- Patient reported Outcome outcome scores: Tegner activity score , hamstring<br /><br>outcome score, Functional Assessment Scale for Acute Hamstring<br /><br>Injuries, Hip And Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS)<br /><br>- Prediction of patient and sports physician for time to return to sports<br /><br>- Time course changes of recovery on MRI (Aspect of the injury on T1 and T2<br /><br>weighted images shall be scored by a radiologist using a<br /><br>standardized form.) </p><br>
