Document Summary
Gastrocnemius and soleus risk factor: muscle fatigue, fluid and electrolyte depletion, knee issues. Grade i: mild strain, a few muscle fibers are stretched or torn, the injured muscle is tender and painful with possible localized spasms. Grade ii: moderate sprain, a large number of fibers are injured and there is more muscle pain and tenderness, mild swelling is present, noticeable loss of function and possible bruising. Grade iii: complete tear, result in a complete loss of muscle function, severe pain, swelling, tenderness, discoloration, palpable defect. Joint injury results in stretching or tearing of the stabilizing connecting tissues causing immediate pain, swelling, instability, decreased rom, loss of function. Acl injuries: decelerating while twisting, pivoting, and sudden stopping or cutting motions. Mcl injuries: impact to the outer knee with no twisting involved; or damaged. Cartilage damage at the same time as the acl. Bursitis inflammation of the bursa sac. Fasciitis inflammation of the connective tissue called fascia.
