An injury to a ligament is called a sprain. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons defines ACL injury in terms of severity and classifies them as Grade 1, 2, or 3 sprains. [1] Grade 1 sprains occur when the ligament is stretched slightly but the stability of the knee joint is not affected. Grade 2 sprains occur when the ligament is ...

A sprain is a soft tissue injury of the ligaments within a joint, often caused by a sudden movement abruptly forcing the joint to exceed its functional range of motion.. Ligaments are tough, inelastic fibers made of collagen that connect two or more bones to form a joint and are important for joint stability and proprioception, which is the body's sense of limb position and movem
A strain is an acute or chronic soft tissue injury that occurs to a muscle, tendon, or both. The equivalent injury to a ligament is a sprain . [ 1 ] Generally, the muscle or tendon overstretches and partially tears, under more physical stress than it can withstand, often from a sudden increase in duration, intensity, or frequency of an activity.
The main goals to achieve during rehabilitation (rehab) of an ACL tear is to regain sufficient functional stability, maximize full muscle strength, and decrease risk of reinjury. [citation needed] Typically, three phases are involved in nonoperative treatment - the acute phase, the neuromuscular training phase, and the return to sport phase ...
The Celtic veteran will likely be out closer to weeks than months, evading what looked like a more serious injury. Celtics’ Marcus Smart dodges more serious injury, has Grade 1 calf strain Skip ...
Postoperative Rehabilitation Postoperative rehabilitation protocols for reconstructed or repaired medial knee injuries focus on protecting the ligaments/grafts, managing swelling, reactivating the quadriceps, and establishing range of motion. A safe range of motion ("safe zone") should be measured by the surgeon intraoperatively and relayed to ...
