The quadriceps muscle plays the role of flexing the hip and extending the knee during running and jumping, while the hamstrings are its antagonist muscle. When the strength of the hamstrings is less than 60% of the quadriceps, it is easy to be injured. The symptoms include tenderness on the posterior side of the thigh, but it will not extend below the knee joint. Sciatica usually has no tenderness and extends below the knee.

1. What are the causes of the onset of posterior thigh muscle strain
The etiology of this disease includes the following two situations:
1. Fall and sprain:Due to trauma caused by violence or indirect violence, excessive abduction of the thigh, injury to the meridians and collaterals, and poor circulation of Qi and blood, Qi and blood stasis, phlegm blocking the meridians and collaterals, 'blockage leads to pain'.
2. External invasion of pathogenic factors:Due to fatigue and sweating, attacked by cold and damp pathogenic factors. The Qi and blood in the human meridians circulate throughout the body in a continuous cycle. When cold pathogenic factors invade the meridians, they congeal and contract, causing blockage of the meridians and collaterals, and retention of the blood, leading to stagnation and poor circulation.
2. What complications can posterior thigh muscle strain easily lead to
Patients with this disease, due to local blood and Qi circulation disorders caused by injury to the meridians and collaterals, Qi stagnation and blood stasis, blockage of the meridians and collaterals, 'blockage leads to pain', can lead to the hip and knee joints being slightly flexed and externally rotated. Due to increased pain during the movement of adduction and abduction of the thigh, due to pain, it can lead to limping when walking. Pain in the hip joint makes it difficult to bear weight while walking, the knee joint of the affected limb is slightly flexed, and the foot is gently landed on the tip of the foot, and then the weight-bearing limb is changed quickly, with a short and unstable gait, which is seen in hip tuberculosis, transient synovitis, aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, and other conditions.
3. What are the typical symptoms of posterior thigh muscle strain
The strain of the posterior thigh muscle is usually manifested as pain in the posterior side of the thigh during sudden and severe muscle contraction (such as when a sprinter is blocked at the starting line or a high jumper jumps from a depression), with tenderness on the posterior side of the thigh, but it will not extend below the knee joint. Sciatica usually has no tenderness and extends below the knee. Deep pain in the thigh may also be due to fatigue fracture of the femur, and diagnosis depends on bone scanning.
4. How to prevent posterior muscle strain of the thigh
In terms of prevention, it is mainly to pay attention to the care of patients to prevent complications from occurring.
1. The patient lies on his back, and the pad of the thumb of the same side is pressed on the affected area for 1-2 minutes to the degree of feeling sore and comfortable.
2. While the patient is in the same position, use the pad of the thumb of the same side or the opposite side to rub the painful area of the adductor cavity 8-10 times to the degree of slight pain locally.
5. What kind of laboratory tests are needed for posterior muscle strain of the thigh
During the physical examination of patients with this disease, swelling can be seen on the inner side of the thigh. There is marked tenderness. When the hip joint is passively abducted, there is marked pain. Special examinations can find a positive resisted test of the adductor muscle, a positive '4' test. The '4' test is also known as the Gaenslen test, which is mainly used for the diagnosis of lumbar sacral joint disease, sciatica, and ankylosing spondylitis, etc.
6. Dietary taboos for patients with posterior muscle strain of the thigh
1. What foods are good for the body for posterior muscle strain of the thigh
It is advisable to eat light, eat more vegetables and fruits, rationally match the diet, and pay attention to adequate nutrition. It is necessary to increase nutrition, eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, eggs, and soy products, and appropriately increase calcium. Drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, such as green vegetables, celery, bananas, etc.
2. What foods should be avoided as much as possible
Avoid spicy foods: such as chili, mustard, etc. Smoking and drinking should be avoided.
7. Conventional Methods of Western Medicine for the Treatment of Posterior Muscle Strain of the Thigh
The treatment of this disease is mainly symptomatic treatment, RICE is helpful for acute injury. Other treatments include comfort, (at present, there are two types of commonly used placebos: one is drugs without specific therapeutic effects, such as glucose, lactose, normal saline, etc.; the other is drugs with certain therapeutic effects but unrelated to the disease being treated, such as vitamin drugs, calcium gluconate, licorice tincture, ammonia water, and unrelated Chinese herbal decoctions, etc. Although placebos themselves are some drugs without specific therapeutic effects or unrelated to the disease being treated) stop running and jumping, and strengthen the gluteus maximus exercises after recovery, etc.
