 Sprains and Strains

A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments — the tough bands of

fibrous tissue that connect two bones together in your joints.

A strain is a stretching or tearing of muscle or tendon. A tendon is a

fibrous cord of tissue that connects muscles to bones.

Initial treatment for both sprains and strains includes rest, ice,
compression and elevation. Mild sprains and strains can be
successfully treated at home. Severe sprains and strains sometimes
require surgery to repair torn ligaments, muscles or tendons.

8
 Sprains

 Sprains
 A sprain occurs when you overextend or tear a
ligament while severely stressing a joint. Sprains often
occur in the following circumstances:
 Ankle — Walking or exercising on an uneven surface
 Knee — Pivoting during an activity
 Wrist — Landing on an outstretched hand during a fall

9
 Strains

 Strains
 There are two types of strains: acute and chronic. An
acute strain occurs when a muscle becomes strained
or pulled — or may even tear — when it stretches
unusually far or abruptly. Acute strains often occur in
the following ways:
 Slipping on ice
 Running, jumping or throwing
 Lifting a heavy object or lifting in an awkward position
 A chronic strain results from prolonged, repetitive
movement of a muscle. This may occur on the job or
during sports.
10
 Factors contributing to Strains and
Sprains
 Factors contributing to sprains and strains include:
 Poor conditioning. Lack of conditioning can leave your muscles
weak and more likely to sustain injury.
 Fatigue. Tired muscles are less likely to provide good support for
your joints. When you're tired, you're also more likely to succumb
to forces that could stress a joint or overextend a muscle.
 Improper warm-up. Properly warming up before vigorous
physical activity loosens your muscles and increases joint range
of motion, making the muscles less tight and less prone to
trauma and tears.
 Environmental conditions. Slippery or uneven surfaces can
make you more prone to injury.
 Poor equipment. Ill-fitting or poorly maintained footwear or
other equipment can contribute to your risk of a sprain or strain.

11
 Things we can do

 Safety in the workplace is extremely important, but sometimes

repetitive job functions cause employees to overlook common
safety measures that lead to injury, more specifically, sprains and
strains. Practicing preventative measures daily can help
employees avoid painful accidents that require time away from
work and potentially lost wages for both the employer and the
employee.
 In an attempt to increase workplace safety, we encourage
employees to follow preventative measures to avoid accidents
that lead to strains and sprains on the job. Physicians stress the
importance of prevention with the notion that unlike many
illnesses, workplace accidents can (in most instances), be
avoided.

12
 Lifting and Pushing Loads

 Lifting, pushing, and overreaching are the most common causes

of strains and sprains. Any job that requires an employee to sit or
stand, or bent in an awkward position for long periods of time
can cause excess stress and strain on certain muscles. Most
strains and sprains affect the back, arms, and shoulders, while
many of these occur because of improper handling of materials.
 Some of the most important safety measures to help avoid
strains and sprains on the job include the following:
 -Lift correctly by bending at the knees, lifting with leg strength,
not the back.
 -Carry loads close to the body. Injuries can occur when workers
try to pull or lift a heavy or awkward object without help or
attempt to lift an object while twisting from the waist.

13
 Ergonomics and Equipment checks

 When carrying a load, avoid lifting upward unnecessarily. Keep as

much of the load as possible at waist level.
 -Get help with heavy loads. Don’t try to move or lift an object
alone that’s too heavy. Instead of lifting an 80-pound load, if
possible, break it down into smaller parts. If the load can’t be
broken down, find help from a mechanical device or lift it with
another worker.
 -Make sure moving equipment works properly or it will cause
unnecessary strain just trying to get it to work. If the wheels on a
cart are not aligned, it is more likely to strain the arms,
shoulders, and back.
 -Change work positions frequently. Chronic strain due to an
unchanging work position can weaken the back, arms, and
shoulders. Proper ergonomics is important so working heights
should be adjusted to prevent slumping or excessive reaching.

14
 Importance of Stretching

 -Stretch during the day to increase flexibility. Take

breaks letting shoulders and neck muscles go limp;
swiveling the head or arms or flexing hands and
fingers. When chronic strain happens, muscles
become less able to withstand strenuous activity and
grow more prone to injury.
 It’s important to take care of the entire body with
exercise, proper posture, a sensible diet and adequate
rest. If muscles or ligaments have weakened over time
from lack of exercise or age, strain or sprains are
more likely than if an employee is physically fit.

 What can you do to avoid sprains or strains?

 Are you properly stretching every morning before
work activities?
