sprain / muscle sprain / distension

Definition of

Unphysiological stretching (more than 25% of the resting position) of a muscle without fiber tears leads to irritation of the non-contractile (measuring and regulating) muscle spindles, which disrupts tone regulation and leads to edema and local inflammation in the muscle. Most commonly affected are the adductor, quadriceps, biceps femoris and gastrocnemius muscles. As a rule, there is no underlying trauma.

ICD M62

Cause

1. Unphysiological strain that does not correspond to the level of training or the situation in terms of strength or stretching requirements

Predisposing

– Behavior

1. Insufficient training or stretching condition
2. Insufficient warm-up
3. Sports with rapidly changing demands on the muscles, sprinting, soccer, handball, tennis, badminton, squash, etc.
4. Overload
5. Muscle fatigue
6. Poor general condition
7. Insufficient fluid or electrolyte intake
8. Taking anabolic steroids

– Musculoskeletal system

1. Deformities of the foot

– Other factors

1. Low ambient temperatures
2. existing cold

Diagnosis

1. Sono to rule out fiber tears and hemorrhages
2. Pressure soreness
3. Hardening

Symptoms

1. sudden pain on movement
2. Cramp-like pain on exertion
3. Painful stretching, pulling to stinging, but stretching improves
4. Pressure soreness
5. In contrast to a torn muscle fiber (where the pain is sudden): gradual development of the pain
6. Tone in the area of the strain often increased
7. Tense, hardened feeling in the muscle
8. No loss of function
9. possibly slight swelling

Therapy

1. Immediate termination of the load
2. PECH:
3. After 1-2 weeks of rest, the muscles should be fully operational again
