Gait
- Limited hip flexion on the affected side
- Lack of full hip extension
- Decreased lift in the swing phase
- Antalgic gait
Inspection
- Swelling
- Ecchymosis
- Muscular defects
- Atrophy
Palpation
- Pay attention to the origin at the ischial tuberosity, and popliteal fossa, looking for focal tenderness
- Palpate all muscles
- Biceps femoris
- Semimembrinosis
- Semitendinosis
Movement
- Strength testing
- Hamstring concentric strength at 90 degrees of flexion
- Hamstring eccentric strength with 15-30 degrees of knee extension
- Biceps femoris tested by externally rotating the leg
- Semimembranosus testing by internally rotating the leg
- Range of motion
- Hip flexors
- Hip Extensors
- Hip Abductors
- Hip Adductors
Special Tests
- Modified bent knee test - supine with hip and knee maximally flexed, the examiner then quickly passively extends the knee. A positive test is pain felt near the ischial tuberosity
- Slump test and straight leg raise test if radicular symptoms present
