Strains
-
Causes
-
-
A strain can result from trauma caused by overstretching of structures, as in sports such as soccer and tennis.
-
-
Health education
Take precaution to prevent falls, such as holding bedrails and stairways, avoiding slippery surfaces.
-
-
Make sure to stretch and warm up before exercising to increase blood flow to the muscles and decrease risk of injury.
Don't rest your muscle for too long, this can cause stiffness and weakness.Slowly increase your level of activity.
-
Pathophysiology
Injury to the muscles occurs as a results of overstretching of the structures beyond their natural capabilities
The strain may be acute or chronic, with cumulative small tears happening over time.
Tears in the affected structures cause bleeding and as a result, a local inflammatory reaction follows.
Common sites for this type of injury are the hamstring, quadriceps and the calf.
