|
Strain |
Injury involving the musculotendinous unit. Due to excessive contraction in the muscle or sudden elongation. |
|
|
Grade 1 Strain |
Mild; involves minor stretch or tears. Little loss in strength and mild discomfort. |
|
|
Grade 2 Strain |
Involves muscle fiber tears and loss of strength. A more noticeable loss of strength, and pain during activities. |
|
|
Grade 3 Strain |
Most severe Involve complete tear of unit. Can happen at attachment or in the muscle itself. The muscle will bunch up and it's noticeable on surface area. Extreme pain and muscle weakness. |
|
|
Sprain |
Occurs when a ligament is overstretched or torn. Often caused by sudden twisting or shear force. This affects the stability of the joint. |
|
|
Grade 1 Sprain |
Ligament is over stretched, or has minor tearing. May be slightly painful during activity, but does not affect daily living activities. No loss of joint stability. |
|
|
Grade 2 Sprain |
Has ligamental tearing along with swelling and pain. Often a snapping or popping sound at moment of injury. Some loss of joint stability, may appear to be hypermobile. |
|
|
Grade 3 Sprain |
Ligament is completely ruptured. Joint is highly unstable and painful |

Shin Splints |
General term describing pain experienced on the anterior leg. |
|
|
Pathologies of Shin Splints |
TSS, Periostitis, Acute Compartment Syndrome, Chronic Compartment Syndrome. |
|
|
Tibial Stress Syndrome |
Inflammation of the periosteum of tibia. |
|
|
Periostitis |
Inflamation of the periosteum of fascia that surrounds the bone. |
|
|
Compartment Syndrome |
Occurs when muscles of the leg engorge with blood and fluids to the point circulation is messed up and fluids cannot drain. |
|
|
Compartments of the leg |
Anterior, lateral, superficial, posterior, & deep posterior. |
|
|
Anterior Compartment |
Tibialis Anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius. |
|
|
Lateral Compartment |
Peroneus longus & brevis. |
|
|
Posterior Superficial Compartment |
Gastrocnemius, soleus, & plantaris. |
|
|
Deep Posterior Compartment |
Flexor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus, and tibialis posterior |
|
|
Working with Shin Splint Injuries |
these are not muscular. Use myofascial release techniques. |
|
|
Hypertonic Muscles |
Use compression, kneeding, and muscle squeezing. |
|
|
Avulsion |
the complete rupture of a tendon or ligament. |
|
|
Plantar Fascia |
thick band of connective tissues that cover the bottom of the feet. |
|
|
Plantar Faciitis |
inflamed plantar fascia, results in painful/difficult walking. |
|
|
Achilles Tendon |
where the gastroc, soleus, and plantaris all merge together. |
|
|
Heel Spur |
pulling of the plantar fascia away from the calcaneus (heel) results in this. |
|
|
Working with Plantar Faciitis |
Address all areas that lead to this, apply ice to control the swelling after massage. Warm foot baths and rollers elongate the fascia. Work trigger points in the soleus and gastroc, Myofacial release the fascia. |
