What Questions to ask Your Doctor About Sprains and Strains? Description of Sprains and Strains Although the terms sprain and strain are used loosely and have no precise clinical definition, a sprain generally refers to an injury to a ligament - one of the tough, fibrous cords within a joint that connects the bones together, and a strain refers to muscle injury. Sprains and strains often occur together in or near a joint, since joints absorb the stress of movement and are vulnerable to be being twisted or wrenched. The ankle and the knee are the most common sites of such injuries. In mild cases, the force of the injury tears a few fibers of the ligament or muscle, causing mild to moderate pain and swelling, which usually subside within a few days. A more violent injury may completely tear a ligament or muscle and involve bone damage such as a dislocation or fracture. With proper care, most sprains and strains heal completely without complication.

How can I protect my child from these injuries? My toddler seems to be limping. Could she have sprained or strained something? It's possible, though it's uncommon for a very young child to be injured this way because their bones and joint tend to be relatively flexible. She may twist an ankle or knee if she falls while climbing on something or she may stretch or tear ligaments in her wrist or elbow if she tries to break a fall with an outstretched arm, forcing those joints to absorb her full weight. Muscle strains are often caused by muscle fatigue and are most common among extremely active children. var ad2=''; document.write(ad2);

Health News Archives Fitness Buffs, Avoid the Strain SUNDAY, Oct. 5 (HealthDayNews) Sprains and strains are among the most common injuries to plague fitness buffs and even those of you who aren't that active. The bones in your body are connected by ligaments and supported by muscles and tendons. A sprain occurs when one of the ligaments stretches or tears. This type of injury is most common in your ankles, knees and wrists. Strains occur when the muscle or tendon is injured usually a stretch or a tear and usually in the foot or leg. Both sprains and strains can be treated the same way, says the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), which is to say, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation), followed by simple exercises. Moderate sprains may also require bracing. In the worst case scenario, surgery may be needed.

89. Sprains And Strains - First Few Hours Of Work Are Most Hazardous, Study Suggests The study, Patterns and risk factors for sprains and strains in Ontario, sprains and strains accounted for 50% of losttime injuries in 1990; http://www.ab.ust.hk/sepo/tips/ot/ot008.htm

Sprains and Strains - First few hours of work are most hazardous, study suggests Adapted from message distributed through SAFETY@UVMVM.BITNET, 11 -APR-1995 TORONTO, Canada - You are more likely to suffer a sprain or strain injury during the first four hours of a work shift or the first two days of the work week. That's one of the findings of a research study recently released by Ontario's Workplace Health and Safety Agency (WHSA). The study, "Patterns and risk factors for sprains and strains in Ontario, 1990" was co-authored by University of Toronto associate professor Bernard Choi and WHSA staff Marianne Levitsky, Roxanne Lloyd and Ilene Stones. Dr. Choi said the analysis based on the WHSA's database seems to indicate that returning from a rest period - such as a weekend or a good night's sleep - leaves workers susceptible to sprains and strains. He suggested warm-up exercises- like the stretching that joggers do before runs - might help alleviate the problems. The data also suggest that the first few months of the year are the riskiest for sprains and strains. The study says this may be due to cold weather. Another major finding from the study was that nurses, nursing aides and truck drivers were more susceptible to sprains and strains than other workers. "This is understandable when it comes to nurses," Dr. Choi said. "Nurses have to make many involuntary motions, such as when lifting patients, and involuntary motions increase the risk of sprains and strains." But Choi said the reasoning was less clear when it comes to truck drivers.

References Sprains and strains are types of minor injuries to the soft tissues and connective tissues of the musculoskeletal system. Sprains usually refer to injuries to ligaments, but sometimes to other connective tissues, such as tendons and the capsules surrounding joints. Strains usually refer to injuries to muscles or to the areas where muscles become tendons. Sprains and strains may occur together, and occasionally are quite severe, requiring immobilization of the body part in a rigid cast for weeks, long-term rehabilitation programs, and sometimes surgery.

The three ligaments involved in ankles sprains/strains include: anterior talofibular ligament posterior talofibular ligament calcaneofibular ligament Sprains or strains are uncommon in younger children because their growth plates (areas of bone growth located in the ends of long bones) are weaker than the muscles or tendons. Instead, children are prone to fractures. What is a contusion? A contusion (bruise) is an injury to the soft-tissue often produced by a blunt force such as a kick, fall, or blow. The immediate result will be pain, swelling, and discoloration. What is a sprain? A sprain is a wrenching or twisting injury to a ligament. Sprains often affect the ankles, knees, or wrists. What is a strain? A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon, and is often caused by overuse, force, or stretching. How is a sprain/strain diagnosed?

calendar clinical services acute care clinic allergy clinic ... Back to Health Topics page To help sprains and strains heal faster, follow these instructions: Elevate the injured area above your heart whenever possible. Use ice packs for the first 48 hours, but never apply the ice directly to the skin. Place a wash cloth over the injured area and apply the ice 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off. After the first 48 hours, apply heat to control pain. If you have an Ace bandage, you may need to rewrap it if it becomes too tight or too loose. Unwrap the bandage if the area below it becomes cold, blue, swollen or numb. Unwrap the bandage at bedtime. If your clinician has prescribed an anti-inflammatory medicine or pain medicine (example: Motrin, or Tylenol 3), use it as directed. If you have a foot or ankle injury, try not to put weight on it for two days. Returnable crutches or canes may be checked out from the Health Center as needed. For a foot injury, elevate the foot for the first two nights while sleeping to decrease swelling. If the foot is taped, do not remove the tape at night as you would a bandage. Remove the tape only if the area below the tape becomes blue, white, swollen, cold or numb. To take a shower, cover your foot with a small towel and a plastic bag secured with tape.
