[Imaging findings of muscle traumas in sports medicine] (J Radiol. 2007)
Isolated rupture of the teres major muscle. (J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2008 )
Muscle strain of the subscapularis muscle: a case report. (Keio J Med. 2007 ) “Repeat MRIs of the right shoulder joint obtained 4 weeks after his first visit to our clinic revealed a significant reduction of the high-intensity lesions in the subscapularis muscle. Conservative treatment was effective for managing moderate muscle strain of the subscapularis muscle. Muscle strain of the subscapularis muscle should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of shoulder injuries in athletes.”

The plantaris muscle: anatomy, injury, imaging, and treatment. (JCCA J Can Chiropr Assoc. 2007 ) “The plantaris is a small muscle that courses along the posterior aspect of the leg as part of the posterosuperficial compartment of the calf. Often thought of as a vestigial, accessory muscle, the plantaris muscle is absent in only 7–20% of limbs.1 Although injuries of this structure have been a source of controversy3,4,5,6,7 pathology of the plantaris muscle and tendon is an important differential diagnosis for pain arising from the proximal posterior aspect of the leg.”
The relationship between preseason range of motion and muscle strain injury in elite soccer players. (J Strength Cond Res. 2007 )
Warm-up and stretching in the prevention of muscular injury. (Sports Med. 2007) “This article provides contradictory evidence to conclusions that have been drawn in previous review articles, which determined that warm-up and/or stretching protocols did not deter injury. The research included here conveys that certain techniques and protocols have shown a positive outcome on deterring injuries. As a result, a warm-up and stretching protocol should be implemented prior to physical activity. The routine should allow the stretching protocol to occur within the 15 minutes immediately prior to the activity in order to receive the most benefit. In addition, current information regarding improvements in flexibility is reviewed.”
