The hamstring muscles consist of the semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and biceps femoris muscles. They originate from an incompletely separated tendon on the lateral and proximal aspect of the ischial tuberosity. Of the three hamstring muscles, the long head of the biceps femoris is the most commonly injured [1, 17, 20, 26].
