Define Muscle contusion, what causes it? speed of healing? impact on performace?
Commonly referred to as a bruise and occurs from a sudden and forceful blow to the body. The result is formation of a hematoma (blood tumor) in tissues surrounding the injured muscle. Speed of healing depends on extent of damage and internal bleeding. Contusions may severely limit movement of the injured muscle.
Define muscle strain. How is it assigned? what are limitations?
Often the result of an abnormal muscle action leading to a stretching or tearing of the muscle fibers. Strains are assigned grades or degrees (first, second, third) to indicate severity of injury. A first- or second-degree strain is a partial tear, whereas third degree reflects a complete tearing of the muscle tissue. Pain, strength limitations, and motion restrictions increase with an increase in the grade.

degeneration of the injured tendon.
