hello,
i was just reviewing the topic on hamstring strain came across a point is quotes about differentiating whether the injury is in the muscle belly or at the musculo tendenious junctions,it says as" if SLR is not painful then the injury is at the MT junction AND IF ITS PAINFUL THE INJURY IS IN THE MUSCLE BELLY":mad::mad:i couldn't understand the reason/logic behind this can anyone explain.
Regards.
hi fire ice
it might be based on the fact that the belly yields first while doing SLR.so pain percertion will occur with it.but it a weird way to dirrerentiate the location /site of hamstring strain.i don't personally think it is possible to differentiate with SLR.
LETS SEE WHAT OUR FRIENDS SAYS ............................
ya lets wait, anyway what other ways r there to differentiate between the location of the lesion???????one more thing i would like to ask is how will u differentiate on the basis of the subjective history that the lesion its a sprain or strain??????
regards
hi
to differentiate between strain and sprain
muscle=strain-the movements in both the directions will be painful,though the intensity may vary
ligament=sprain-only in one direction which stretches it causes pain.opposite movement as it only approximates and slacken the ligament,no pain is elicited,usually
