MANAGEMENT
•Symptoms :
Strain include pain,
Muscle spasm and
Loss of strength.
The easiest way to remember the difference between tendons
and ligaments is fairly simple:
1. Ligaments attach a bone to a bone.
2. Tendons hold a muscle and a bone together.
KNEE
INJURIES
• Can result from a
blow to or twist to the
knee, from improper
landing after a jump
or from running too
hard, too much or
without proper warm
up.
KNEE INJURIES
Knee injuries can range from mild to
severe.
• An anterior cruciate
ligament injury is the over-
stretching or tearing of the
anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL) in the knee.
• A tear may be partial or
complete. The ligaments
which attach the upper leg
bone (femur) to the large
lower leg bone (tibia) create a
hinge joint called the knee.
2. POSTERIOR CRUCIATE
LIGAMENT (PCL)
• A cruciate ligament of
each knee that
attaches the back of
the tibia with the
front of the femur and
functions especially to
limit the backward
motion of the tibia.
3. MEDIAL COLLATERAL
LIGAMENT (MCL)
• A ligament of
the inner knee
that connects
medial parts of
the femur and
tibia and helps
to stabilize the
knee joint.
4. Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL)
PRICED HARM
PRICED
• Protection -Remove additional risk or danger in the
injured area
• Rest - Stop moving the injured area.
• Ice- Apply ice to the injured area for 20 minutes every
two hours for two days. Then ice can be applied less
frequently after the first two days until the fifth to
seventh day.
• Compression -Apply an elastic compression bandage in
the injured area.
• Elevation - Raise the injured area above heart level.
• Diagnosis - Acute injuries should be evaluated by
health-care professionals.
**In the first few days of an injury,
remember to avoid harm.**
HARM
• HEAT - Any kind of heat will speed up the circulation, resulting
in more swelling and longer recovery.
• ALCOHOL- Alcohol can increase swelling, resulting to longer
recovery.
• RUNNING OR OTHER EXCESSIVE Exercises- Exercising can
cause further damage to the injured part. Exercise also increases
blood flow, resulting to more swelling.
• MASSAGE - Massage increases swelling and bleeding into the
tissue, prolonging recovery time.
