Muscle injuries are frequent in high demand sports, accounting for 10 to 55% of all acute sports injuries 1.
The muscles and muscle groups more frequently in- volved are the hamstrings, rectus femoris, and the medial head of the gastrocnemius.
Although the diag- nosis is usually clinical, imaging tools are often advo- cated to better identify the extent and site of lesion, which can be relevant prognostic factors predictive of recovery time, return to pre-injury sport activity, and risk of recurrence 2-5.
A number of treatments is available for muscle in- juries, including the PRICE and POLICE protocols, passive and active stretching, physical therapies, functional rehabilitation and general athletic recondi- tioning.
