Ligament Strain vs. Sprain: Understanding the Differences
1. Ligament Strain:
- What is it? A strain happens when muscle fibers or tendons (which connect muscles to bones) are stretched or torn.
- Common Causes: Overuse, sudden movement, or lifting something heavy.
- Symptoms: Pain, muscle spasms, swelling, and limited movement.
- Physiotherapy Treatment:
- Initial Phase: Rest and gentle stretching.
- Intermediate Phase: Strengthening exercises to restore muscle function.
- Advanced Phase: Functional training to regain full activity.
2. Ligament Sprain:
- What is it? A sprain occurs when the ligaments (which connect bones to each other) are stretched or torn.
- Common Causes: Twisting injuries, falls, or trauma. Often seen in sports or accidents.
- Symptoms: Pain, swelling, bruising, and joint instability.
- Physiotherapy Treatment:
- Initial Phase: Rest, ice, and compression to reduce swelling.
- Intermediate Phase: Range of motion exercises and balance training.
- Advanced Phase: Strengthening and functional training to restore stability.
Type of conditions:
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury
- Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) injury
- Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) injury

- Functionality: Little or no loss of function.
2. Grade II (Moderate):
- Description: The ligament is partially torn.
- Symptoms: Moderate pain and swelling, noticeable bruising, and some loss of function. The joint may feel unstable.
- Functionality: Difficulty bearing weight or using the joint normally.
3. Grade III (Severe):
- Description: The ligament is completely torn.
- Symptoms: Severe pain and swelling, significant bruising, and considerable loss of function. The joint is often unstable.
