 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.

Sprains and Strains The majority of sports injuries are caused by minor trauma involving muscles, ligaments, and/or tendons, including: contusions (bruises) sprains strains The most commonly sprained or strained joint is the ankle. 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.

Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index S sprains and strains Search sprains and strains A sprain is the most common ankle injury. While most sprains are mild, ankle sprain is a potentially serious injury with possible long term complications. Sprains may range in severity of injury from minor damage to the ligaments to complete tearing off of the bony attachment (a so-called avulsion fracture), and dislocation of the joint. A strain is a more minor type of injury that does not involve loss of joint stability or tearing of ligaments, whereas a sprain does. A sprain occurs when stress is applied while the ankle is in an unstable position, causing the ligaments to overstretch or tear. Ankles are usually sprained when the foot is flexed downward while walking or running over an uneven surface. This is the least stable position of the ankle, in which it is most susceptible to twisting forces rolling the foot inward or outward. Sprains are classified by degrees: first-degree, involving stretching of ligamentous fibers second-degree, involving a tear of some portion of the ligament with associated pain and swelling

89. Easing The Pain Of Sprains And Strains Selfcare for treating sprains and strains Following are instructions for theRICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) method, which can be used to help http://www.healthsmart.org/painmanagement/advil/sprains.html

A sprain occurs when ligaments (tissue that connects bone to bone) are stretched and torn. A strain is caused by overstretching a muscle (tissue that produces movement) or a tendon (cord of tissue that attaches the muscle and bone). Self-care for treating sprains and strains: Following are instructions for the RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) method, which can be used to help reduce pain and speed recovery of a joint or muscle injury: R. Rest Try not to put weight on the injured joint for 24 to 48 hours. Use crutches to support an injured knee or ankle If you use only one crutch, place it on the uninjured side to help you lean toward that side I. Ice Ice causes blood vessels to constrict, preventing blood and fluid from building up in the injured area. Apply ice or cold packs for no more than 20 minutes at a time, 4 to 8 times per day Remove ice after 10 to 20 minutes to avoid frostbite C. Compression Compress the injured area to immobilize it and reduce swelling. An elastic bandage may be used Other options include air casts, splints, and special boots

Dabur Products Chyawanprash Dietary Supplement Other Sites Ajit Johri Family Doctor Sports Doctor School Doctor ... Computer Services How does Amrutanjan Balm act? Amrutanjan Balm is a topical agent. It contains Oil of Wintergreen, Camphor and Menthol. According to literature, Oil of Wintergreen contains Methyl salicylate. When mixed with camphor and menthol and applied to the affected area, it assists in relieving pain. Apparently Camphor and Menthol prevent the hydrolysis of the Oil of Wintergreen and help its absorption. Camphor, due to its heating effect, causes hyperemia and helps absorption. Menthol causes a cooling effect and this leads to constriction of blood vessels, hence most of the Methyl salicylate remains in the tissue locally and acts at the affected site.

96. Sprains & Strains sprains strains. When you participate in sports and physical fitnessactivities, you can injure the soft tissues of your body. http://www.orthopedicsosa.com/pt info folder/sprains.htm

When you participate in sports and physical fitness activities, you can injure the soft tissues of your body. Even simple everyday activities can damage these ligaments, tendons and muscles. Some of the soft-tissue injuries you're most likely to experience include: Any of these can be the result of a single episode, such as a fall, a sudden twist or a blow to the body. You might also sustain one or more of these injuries because of repeated overuse, such as in ongoing athletic activities. In this case, small amounts of body stress accumulate slowly but steadily. The result can be damage and pain. Here are some of the injuries you're most likely to experience, along with suggested ways of treating them. Sprains The joints of your body are supported by ligaments - strong bands of connective tissue that connect one bone to another. A sprain is a simple stretch or tear of the ligaments. The areas of your body that are most vulnerable to sprains are your ankles, knees and wrist. A sprained ankle can occur when your foot turns inward. This can put extreme tension on the ligaments of your outer ankle and cause a sprain. A sprained knee can be the result of a sudden twist. Wrist sprains most often occur when you fall on an outstretched hand. Most mild sprains heal with "R.I.C.E." (rest, ice, compression and elevation) and exercise. Moderate sprains may also require a period of bracing. The most severe sprains may require surgery to repair torn ligaments.
