MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A sprain is caused by an injury that stresses a joint and overstretches or even ruptures supporting ligaments. This can happen from a fall, twist, or blow to the body, In a mild sprain, a ligament is stretched, but the joint remains stable and is not loosened.

Detailed explanation-2: -A sprain occurs when a joint movement stretches the ligament beyond its normal range, causing it to partially or completely tear. The most commonly affected joints are the knee and ankle; however a sprain can occur at any joint.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sprains are ligament injuries resulting from wrenching or twisting a joint. 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-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments-the tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect two bones together in your joints.
