What Determines a Sport Injury?
Sport injuries are commonly injuries that occur during a traumatic event during sport. However, injuries can be a result of overuse of dysfunctional movement patterns that can gradually lead to pain and limitation.
Common Sport Injuries:
- Sprains-tears of ligaments that connect bones together. Common areas include the ankle, knees, and wrist.
- Strains- pulls or tears of muscle or tendons
- Fractures- bones breaking due to trauma or pathology
- Dislocations- joint surfaces being dislodged or displaced.
- Concussions- bruising or trauma to the brain as a result of a significant impact or fall (traumatic brain injury)
