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.

Causes Anyone, from the best-conditioned athlete to the most sedentary person, can incur an ankle injury. Usually, the cause is accidental (e.g., a jogger steps in a pothole, a pregnant woman slips getting out of the car, a softball player slides awkwardly into a base). Overweight people and women who wear high-heeled shoes are at increased risk for ankle injuries. An ankle injury usually involves a sudden, unexpected, loss of balance, resulting in a sharp twist of the ankle. A

It's possible. These injuries become more common once your child begins playing sports, after age 6 or so. A child may sprain her ankle or knee while running on the soccer field or jumping on the basketball or volleyball court. 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. Strains are often caused by muscle fatigue and are most common among extremely active children. What's the difference between a sprain and a strain? When your child strains or "pulls" a muscle, she has stretched or torn the muscle tissue or the tendon that connects it to a nearby bone. The neck, back, thigh, and calf muscles are the ones most often strained. These strains are frequently the result of overuse, as in the case of a Little League pitcher who develops a sore arm. Sprains, on the other hand, involve the joints. An ankle, knee, wrist, or elbow is sprained when a sharp, twisting motion stretches or tears a ligament, the tough, elastic tissue that connects the bones at a joint. If the sprain is really bad, you'll hear a pop or a snapping sound.

It's possible. It's uncommon for a very young child to be injured this way because their bones and joint tend to be relatively flexible, but it can happen. 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.

 Prevent Sprains and Strains TF15 Athletes in training know their abilities and their limitations, because going beyond what is physically possible leads to strained and sprained muscles and ligaments. Those injuries could put the athlete out of competition. Your job may include lifting and carrying heavy material. You should be aware of how much you can do in order to avoid an injury that could put you on the bench for a while. Sprains and strains can occur anywherein the workplace, during recreational and sporting events, and at home. In order to understand these injuries, it is necessary to understand a little about the makeup of the human body. The human body is designed with some very sound mechanical principles. It is a combination of a number of systems that complement each other. Today we are going to discuss just two of thesethe skeletal and muscular systems. Because they are so closely related, physicians refer to them as the musculo-skeletal system. The skeletal system consists of the 204 bones of the body. The bones make up the framework of the body and determine its size. The skeletal system varies from individual to individual. Some people have short thick bones; others have long, rather thin bones. There are a few people who may be missing one bone or another, but in general the number of bones is 204. This solid framework keeps the human body from being a blob, such as a jellyfish. The skeletal system acts as a support for the other systems in the body. It also serves as an anchor for the muscular system. The muscular system is made up of all the muscles of the body. Muscles are the motors that move the bones and make it possible for the body to move and stand erect. There are many different muscles, but today we are going to discuss those that are most commonly sprained and strained. When doctors talk of sprains and strains, they speak of ligaments and tendons. Ligaments are tough, fibrous, cord-like materials that connect bone to bone. Ligaments most commonly are associated with joints, with one bone connecting to anotherat the elbow where the forearm is joined to the upperarm, at the knee, at the shoulder, at the wrist, at the hip. Wherever there is a joint, you'll find ligaments. Tendons are of similar material, but their function is to attach muscle to bone. Muscles of motion are almost always found in pairs, and usually cross the joints of bones. When one muscle contracts to move a part of the body, its partner relaxes. You most likely have at one time or another experienced a cramp in your leg or foot. This occurs when the body is confused and contracts both muscles at the same time. Because they are balanced, each tries to overcome the other's resistance without success, and this "ties you up in knots." This background information will help you understand why sprains and strains happen. You probably all know about sprained ankles and strained elbows, but the back is an area where strains and sprains often occur. Back sprains and strains are also the most costly to the individual. A strain occurs whenever a muscle is stretched beyond its limit. Muscles do a great deal of work. However, they must be conditioned if they are to perform in a given way. Professional athletes condition their muscles through rigorous training. We also must condition our muscles. A worker who is accustomed to manually handling a large number of pieces of material in a given workday can do so with ease. Those of us who have different duties would find it difficult to do that same amount of work without paying for it with aching muscles. If we should continue to do the work, however, we would soon be conditioned and be able to perform the job without pain. However, even the conditioned athlete or worker cannot exceed the limitations of the muscles. When a muscle is stretched too much, the ligaments pull and sometimes even tear. Stretched ligaments and tendons are termed strains. A sprain is when tearing has occurred. The industrial setting provides many opportunities for the occurrence of sprains and strains; the most common is material handling. We all handle material in one way or another. Even the office worker is involved with material handling when picking up a package, box or chair to move it. Let's take a minute to consider all the operations in our area that might involve material handling and how they might cause a sprain or strain. Note to Discussion Leader: Try to get employees to tell you about potential sprain and strain operations in their area. Do not argue the point or dismiss any item; just list them. Material handling strains and sprains often are caused by overexertion. You can see from the list we just made that we do have the potential for sprains and strains in our area. Other movements can also cause sprains and strainsoverreaching or overextending a part of the body; reaching over something to pick up a load; or trying to reach a top shelf without using a proper stool or ladder. Can anyone give me an example of a strain or sprain case? It doesn't have to be work related; remember, these injuries also happen off the job. Note to Discussion Leader: Try to get someone to tell about a sprain or strain injury. If necessary, tell of an injury yourself. What can we do to minimize these injuries? Well, this meeting is a beginning. If we understand what causes sprains and strains, we are better equipped to prevent them. A few basic rules to remember are: ˜ Before you begin, size up the job. Is there a better way Look into ways to eliminate or reduce lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling and carrying whenever possible. ˜ Get help when the load is heavy, awkward or unstable. ˜ Make sure there are no slipping or tripping hazards in your work area or around your home. The sudden jerk caused by a slip or trip can cause a sprain or strain. ˜ Don't overextend yourselfuse a step stool or ladder when lifting above shoulder height. ˜ Try to keep yourself in good condition. ˜ Take a lesson from athletesdon't rush into a job cold. Warm up your muscles first. ˜ Hold the load close. ˜ Avoid twisting your body while handling a load. Work smarter, not harderit's easier and safer.

We're hoping that this information will keep you in the gym and not in the doctor's office. Lets start with Sprains The joints of our bodies are supported by ligaments which are strong bands of connective tissue that connect one bone to another. A sprain is simply a stretch or tear of the ligaments. The areas of the body that are most vulnerable to sprains are your ankles, knees, and wrist. A sprained ankle can happen when your foot turns inward. This can put extreme tension on the ligaments of your outer ankle and cause the sprain. A sprained knee can be the result of a sudden twist. Wrist sprains most often occur when you fall on an outstretched hand. What is a Strain?

Sprains result from an injury to a ligament (the connective tissue that links bones together at joints), most often in the ankle, knee, elbow, or wrist. Strains are tears in muscle tissue, commonly occurring in the muscles that support the neck, thigh, groin, and ankle. Signs and Symptoms Sprains and strains cause pain and swelling. You may have joint instability or disability if the injury is serious, involving a muscle or ligament tear. What Causes It? Sprains generally result from a twisting force applied to a joint while it is bearing weight, which causes the ligament to stretch beyond its natural limit. Muscle strains occur when the weight load on a muscle is greater than what the weakest part of the muscle can bear. Strains usually occur during activities that require a muscle to be stretched and bear weight at the same time. You are at risk for a sprain or strain if you do the following. Exercise without warming up properly Use athletic equipment that does not fit properly Participate in sports and activities that you are not conditioned for What to Expect at Your Provider's Office Your health care provider may take an X ray.

Home Sprains and Strains DESCRIPTION A sprain is an injury to a ligament. A ligament is a thick, tough, fibrous tissue that connects bones together. Commonly injured ligaments are in the ankle, knee, and wrist. The ligaments can be injured by being stretched too far from their normal position. The purpose of having ligaments is to hold your skeleton together in a normal alignment ligaments prevent abnormal movements. However, when too much force is applied to a ligament, such as in a fall, the ligaments can be stretched or torn; this injury is called a sprain. A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon. Muscles move your skeleton in an amazing variety of ways. When a muscle contracts it pulls on a tendon, which is in turn connected to your bone. Muscles are made to stretch, but if stretched too far, or if stretched while contracting, an injury called a strain my result. A strain can either be a stretching or tear of the muscle or tendon. Sprains are caused when a joint is forced to move into an unnatural position. For example, "twisting" one's ankle causes a sprain to the ligaments around the ankle.
