Sprains, Strains, and Other Soft-Tissue Injuries

Many sports injuries are inflicted on the hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow. Some injuries are due to overuse and chronic trauma. Most sports injuries are obvious and direct. The most common soft tissues injured are muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These injuries often occur during high athletic sports and exercise activities. But sometimes simple everyday activities can also cause an injury. Soft-tissue injuries fall into two basic categories: acute injuries and overuse injuries. Acute injuries are caused by sudden trauma, such as a fall, twist, or blow to the body. Overuse injuries occur gradually with the passage of time when an athletic or other activity is repeated so often that areas of the body do not have enough recuperating time to heal between the occurrences.
