Level of severity of strain with signs and symptoms of lower function and lower activity.

A

Moderate strain

22
Q

Level of severity of strain with signs and symptoms of minor muscle weakness and muscle stiffness.

A

Mild strain

23

A

Severe strain

24
Q

What are the test for muscles to identify strain?

28
Q

What are the contributing factors that causes the strain?

A
  • Inadequate warm up before an activity.

(RICE) Rest Ice Compression Elevation

30
Q

Hydrotherapy is used in acute strain by:

A

Applying Cold compress or Ice pack. if swelling is present.

31
Q

What are the treatment goals for acute strain?

A
  • Reduce pain
  • Decrease sympathetic nervous system firing
  • Treat any compensating structures
  • Reduce Edema
  • Maintain local circulation proximal to the injury
  • Reduce but do not remove protective muscle spasm
  • Do not disturb the hematoma
  • maintain ROM
32
Q

What are the treatment goals for subacute strain?

A
  • Treatment goals of Acute strain plus;
  • Prevent adhesion formation
  • Reduce spasm
  • Reduce trigger points without disturbing the injury site
33
Q

What are the treatment goals for chronic strain?

A
  • Treatment goals of Acute and Subacute plus;
  • Reduce chronic edema
  • Reduce hypertonicity
  • Treat the scar if the muscle was surgically repaired
34
Q

What is the direction of application of hydrotherapy in Chronic muscle strain?

A

proximal to the strain and on the lesion site itself.

35
Q

Hydrotherapy in chronic muscle strain includes the use of:

A

Deep moist heat ( hydrocollator or wax application )

36
Q

Application of alternating hot and cold towels that is useful to flash out edema. What type of hydrotherapy?

A

Contrast Hydrotherapy

37
Q
