Muscle and soft tissue injuries can be classified using a graded system. [4] Grade 1 muscle strain is the least severe with damage to few muscle fibers and little if any loss of function. Grade 2 muscle strain indicates a mild to moderate injury with appreciable tissue damage and some loss of function or strength.
OSICS has been found to be more applicable to sports injury coding than the ICD. [27] Most classification of disease has a focus on conditions that present to hospital and/or cause major morbidity or death, whereas in sports medicine there is a focus on conditions (injury and illnesses) that stop an athlete from being able to compete.
A grade 1 sprain is defined as mild damage to a ligament or ligaments without instability of the affected joint. A grade 2 sprain is considered a partial tear to the ligament, in which it is stretched to the point that it becomes loose. A grade 3 sprain is a complete tear of a ligament, causing instability in the affected joint. [3]
Sensory but not motor function is preserved below the level of injury, including the sacral segments. C Motor incomplete. Motor function is preserved below the level of injury, and more than half of muscles tested below the level of injury have a muscle grade less than 3 (see muscle strength scores table). D Motor incomplete. Motor function is ...
The severity of muscle weakness can be classified into different "grades" based on the following criteria: [16] [17] Grade 0: No contraction or muscle movement. Grade 1: Trace of contraction, but no movement at the joint. Grade 2: Movement at the joint with gravity eliminated. Grade 3: Movement against gravity, but not against added resistance.
A strain is a type of acute injury that occurs to the muscle or tendon. Similar to sprains, it can vary in severity, from a stretching of the muscle or tendon to a complete tear of the tendon from the muscle. Some of the most common places that strains occur are in the foot, back of the leg (hamstring), or back. [2]

Injury can be described as a ‘mechanical disruption of tissues resulting in pain.' [13] Despite the fact tissues can self-repair, muscle degradation occurs after repeated and prolonged use. [13] Overuse and strain injuries can occur at work, physical activity and daily life. [ 11 ]
