GROSS ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -A strain to the muscle or muscle tendon is the equivalent of a sprain to ligaments. It is a contraction-induced injury in which muscle fibres tear due to extensive mechanical stress. This mostly occurs as a result of a powerful eccentric contraction (see EIMD) or over-stretching of the muscle.

Detailed explanation-2: -A muscle strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon-the fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones. Minor injuries may only overstretch a muscle or tendon, while more severe injuries may involve partial or complete tears in these tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -SPRAIN: Results from overstretching or tearing a ligament, tendon, or muscle. Ligaments are fibrous tissue that connects bones. Tendons are tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone. STRAIN: Occurs when a muscle or tendon is overstretched or over-exerted.

Detailed explanation-4: -Strains are injuries to a muscle or tendon, and are often caused by overuse, force, or stretching. The ankle is the most commonly sprained or strained joint.

Detailed explanation-5: -Muscle Strain. A muscle strain is commonly referred to as a “pulled” muscle. Muscle Tear. Rhabdomyolysis. Muscle Contusion.
