Short hamstring predictor

This Mobile App is a medical calculator which indicates the probability that a boy, aged from 10 to 16 both inclusive and who plays football, of having Short Hamstring Syndrome either grade I or II (straight leg raise test less than 70º and/or more than 15º in the passive knee extension test) and in the case of only grade II (straight leg raise test less than 60º and/or passive knee extension test greater or equal than 35º).

To calculate this probability we need to know the following parameters: toe-touch test, body mass index, age and laterality.

To obtain the final result, this App will calculate the adding of points based on the potential risk of the previous parameters. A boy will have a higher risk of Short Hamstring Syndrome at a younger age, lower toe-touch value and lower body mass index. On the other hand, a younger boy with lower toe-touch test value, higher body mass index and left footed will have a higher probability of short hamstring syndrome grade II. According to the obtained points, the boys will be classified in a risk group and each group will have an associated probability of having short hamstring syndrome.

If a patient belongs to a high risk group, we must send him to physiotherapy to start the short hamstring syndrome treatment as soon as possible and in this way diminish the future consequences. This Mobile App is a medical calculator Which Indicates the probability That a boy, aged from 10 to 16 Both inclusive and WHO plays football, of Having Short Hamstring Syndrome Either grade I or II (straight leg raise test less than 70 ° and / or more than 15th in the passive knee extension test) and in the case of only grade II (straight leg raise test less than 60 and / or passive knee extension test greater than or equal 35 °).

To calculate probability esta we need to know the following parameters: toe-touch test, body mass index, age and laterality.

To Obtain the end result, this app will calculate the adding of points based on the potential risk of the previous parameters. A boy will Have a higher risk of Short Hamstring at a younger age Syndrome, toe-touch lower value and lower body mass index. On the other hand, a younger boy with toe-touch test lower value, higher body mass index and left footed will Have a higher probability of short hamstring syndrome grade II. Obtained According To the points, the boys will be classified in a risk group and each group will Have an Associated probability of short hamstring syndrome Having.

If a patient belongs to a high risk group, we must send him to physiotherapy to start the short hamstring syndrome treatment as soon as possible and in This Way diminish the future Consequences.
