Recovery After Muscle Injury

For convenience, muscle injuries are classified by degree of impairment.

1. First tension level is so called "Stretched" muscle. It is reversible injury.
2. Second extent is partial muscle rupture. It is anatomically impairment of several or more muscle fibers, or a total rupture of muscle fiber tuft.
3.The third full extent of the muscle rupture, etc. "Rupture".

1. Stretched muscle is functionally reversible muscle injury. It is a result of a sudden eccentric muscle activity; muscle elasticity limit is reached but not exceeded.

The integrity of muscle fiber is intact.
Sometimes a distinction is made between strain and over stretching given that the limits of elasticity and integrity of the fibers is reached. The result is structural damage to muscle cells, and depending on the severity of the injury it is described as a partial muscle tear/ second degree.

In over stretched muscle tension is parallel to the muscle fibers and usually affect areas where blood is hard to reach
- those areas where the muscles attach to tendons. Symptoms are sudden pain, pain when in motion, tenderness, but no swelling.

2-3. Partial and complete muscle rupture is sudden and accompanied by severe pain. There are two reasons:

- Uncoordinated movements at maximum contracted muscles.

- Fling in contracted strongly counteract muscle.

In partial rupture / 2nd level/ receiving rolling muscle fibers at the site of the wound. Това място е една малка вдлъбнатина пълна с кръв и обградена от сгърчени мускулни краища. This place is a little hollow filled with blood and surrounded by shrunk muscle endings. 1 and 2 and grade are obtained at the time of maximum shrinkage/ contraction.

Best results are achieved with operative intervention. Otherwise, the changes appear atrofic because muscle has lost its tension. The final result is a large scar, which is also painful. After the operation is done by plaster immobilization. On the 3 day start mental training, and contraction of the muscle - the 8 th day.

After removal of the plaster is held physiotherapy, underwater massage, electrical stimulation and light rehabilitation exercises. If there is no pain with movement and functional tests are negative, begin training after 6-8 weeks. Early in training muscle is prophylactic brace with elastic bandage, to avoid being overloaded.

Rehabilitation after muscle injury

Law of Arndt-Schulz states that incentives posture of the incentives are necessary to preserve the function of organs. The higher the potential capacity of a body, the more must be strong incentives to maintain this level of efficiency.

In practice this means that the more developed is a muscle, the greater must be loaded, just to avoid its functional degradation. Given the ever more frequent and more severe injuries, sport is facing the following problem: how to avoid loss of functionality, and an authority when it is immobilization and how soon to be created to compensate for functional degradation.

As to the muscles, this means they can protect themselves from atrophy to be kept within the limit of normal, and then quickly be overcome.In addition there sports especially if it is best not to go the pace of training.

The syndrome of exhaustion should be avoided. Acute distress syndrome is the result of psychological pressure arising from the lack of sports activities. Extensive research in rehabilitation centers found that systematically conducted sports classes have a beneficial impact on rehabilitation, recover more quickly and protect the employability of the acute syndrome of exhaustion. Value and effectiveness of physiotherapy and kinesitherapy are uncontested.

Weakening of the muscle can be prevented or limited by timely training for faster recovery of function without any further complications.

Rehabilitative exercises should be similar to those that are common to sports in his discipline. Typically, when muscle injury damaged area can not be subjected to load for some time, ie during the recovery period.

Various sports exercises are chosen according to the type and severity of trauma. Difference between the exercise is intended for health authorities and those required for the rehabilitation of the affected limb or part of the body.
