How do you remember a strain or sprain?

The main difference between strains and sprains is which part of the body is injured, which is a great way to remember which type of injury is which.

A strain is when a muscle or tendon in your body gets overstretched or torn. Tendons are the flexible bands of tissue that attach muscles to bones. Acute strains occur suddenly due to physical overexertion, a fall, or the affected area is twisted in an awkward position. The other type of strain is a chronic strain that develops over time due to repetitive movements from an activity. Symptoms of a strain include pain, swelling, and bruising in the affected area; muscle weakness, cramps, or spasms; and also difficulty moving the area or a limited range of motion.

A sprain occurs when a ligament near a joint gets overstretched or torn. Ligaments are tough, fibrous bands of tissue that connect one bone to another bone. These injuries occur due to a high-impact force directed at the area or by any twisting or rolling of a joint Symptoms of a sprain include pain, swelling, and bruising of the affected area, a limited range of motion, and difficulty putting weight or pressure on the joint.

A good way to remember what a strain versus a sprain involves is to simply memorize which part of the body is affected. One helpful tip to remember each is by connecting the fact that strains have a “T” in the name, and they affect the tendons which also start with a “T.”

• A sprain affects the ligaments, which connect bone to bone
• A strain affects the muscles or tendons, which connect muscle to bone
