	Quadricep Strain Injury and Running
		A strain will produce a dull ache while a tear will result in sudden intense pain which will be accompanied by swelling or bruises.
		A quadricep strain usually results from a muscular imbalance between the quadriceps and the hamstrings.
		Alternate your neck position position to prevent strains and limit your retro running to two sessions per week starting from 50 meters and progressing to 500 meters.

	Repetitive strain injury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Repetitive strain injury, also called repetitive stress injury or typing injury, is an occupational overuse syndrome affecting muscles, tendons and nerves in the arms and upper back.
		Repetitive strain injury is not a specific disease but a loose group of other, more specific conditions.
		The most famous repetitive strain injury is carpal tunnel syndrome, which is common among assembly line workers but relatively rare among computer users: computer-related arm pain is generally caused by another specific condition.

		The injury usually occurs when the muscle is forcibly stretched beyond its limits and the muscle tissue becomes torn.
		With a grade one strain there is a sensation of cramp or tightness, and a slight feeling of pain when the muscles are stretched or contracted.
		With a grade three strain the athlete is unable to move without pain, and there may be a bulge of soft tissue through the muscle layer.

		A tear in a muscle is referred to as a strain and depending on its severity it is classified as a first, second or third degree strain.
		With a grade one thigh strain there may be a sensation of cramp or tightness and a slight feeling of pain when the muscles are stretched or contracted.
		As a general rule grade one thigh strains should be rested from sporting activity for about 3 weeks, and grade two injuries for about 4 to 6 weeks.

	Neck Strain
		By definition, neck strain injuries do not involve serious injury to any of these vital structures and also are not associated with fractures or dislocations of any of the bones of the cervical spine.
		Significant injury to blood vessels and the spinal cord are also not part of the definition of a strain type of injury.
		Orthopedists, doctors of the bones and joints, differentiate "sprains" from "strains." Injuries of tissues that contract and move, such as muscles, tendons, and their attachments into bones, are termed strains (for example, tendonitis occurs when tendons are involved).

	Repetitive strain injury Summary
		Repetitive motion injury (RMI), sometimes called repetitive strain injury, cumulative trauma disorder, or overuse syndrome, is an umbrella term used to describe a variety of diagnostic conditions characterized by pain and discomfort that develop gradually in such soft-tissue structures as tendons, tendon sheaths, nerves, muscles, or blood vessels.
		Repetitive motion injuries have long presented a problem to the health care professionals in that the injuries are notoriously difficult to diagnose and sometimes to treat, since they develop slowly and are characterized by pain that is not localized to one particular part of the body.
		The most famous repetitive strain injury is carpal tunnel syndrome, which is common among assembly line workers but relatively rare among computer users: computer-related arm pain is generally caused by another specific condition.

	Sprains and Strains
		A strain is an injury to either a muscle or a tendon generally caused by overuse, force, or stretching.
		Depending on the severity of the injury, a strain may be a simple overstretch of the muscle or tendon, or it can result in a partial or complete tear.
		Sprains or strains are uncommon in younger children because their growth plates (areas of bone growth located in the ends of long bones) are weaker than the muscles or tendons.

	RSI Injuries: Claim Compensation for a Repetitive Strain Injury
		With the huge rise in the number of computers used by firms nationwide it was inevitable that the number of RSI (repetitive strain injury) compensation claims would rise with it.
		A common example of repetitive strain disorder in relation to computers is that of pain in the wrist due to repeatedly typing on a keyboard or the continued use of a mouse.
		Injuries involving repetition in the workplace often result in the individual being unable to work for some time after the strain and stress first sets in which is where the loss of earnings and future loss of earnings part of the RSI compensation claim has to be taken into consideration.

	eMedicine - Hamstring Strain : Article by Jeffrey M Heftler, MD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Injury is most likely to occur while the musculotendinous junction undergoes maximum strain during eccentric contraction of the hamstrings.
		When a confirmation or grading of a hamstring strain is necessary, MRI is the most sensitive test used when considering the diagnosis of hamstring strain, but it should be used sparingly because of the cost and patient discomfort.
		Even if a patient with a first-degree injury is feeling better after a few days and wants to return to participating in his or her sport, it is usually recommended that he or she complete a rehabilitation program to avoid chronic injury.

	Repetitive Motion Injury
		Repetitive motion injuries are wear-and-tear injuries that occur because of repetitive activities that we perform at work and at home.
		These injuries are due to repeated strain to muscles, tendons and joints in the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, back and neck.
		Activities at work that can lead to injury are those that are repetitive in nature, such as using the same hand and arm in performing the same work tasks for prolonged periods of time; or holding your hand and arm in awkward positions that put strain on nerves, muscles and tendons.

	Hamstring Injury, Hamstring Strain, Treatment and Rehabilitation
		A hamstring injury or a pulled hamstring as it is sometimes called is a tear in one of the hamstrings muscles.
		A strain or tear in a muscle often results from an overload of the muscles or trying to move the muscles too fast.
		Strains are graded 1, 2 or 3 depending on severity.

	What Is a Sprain/Strain Injury?
		Sprain/strain injuries can happen anywhere in the body where tendons and ligaments are found, with the ankles, the shoulders, and the back being the most common locations for these injuries.
		When a sprain/strain injury occurs, the tissues of the tendons and/or ligaments are stretched-the fibers are pulled and frayed.
		When an injury does occur, it often affects the joints because tendons and ligaments attach to bones and stabilize joints.

	Repetitive Strain Injury \| Irish Health Focus \| Vhi
		Repetitive strain injury, or RSI, is an umbrella term used to describe work-related musculoskeletal (muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone) disorders affecting the neck, shoulder, arm, wrist and hand.
		In fact, you may be surprised to know that in some instances the pain and discomfort associated with repetitive strain injuries may be caused by a lack of movement or a single strain or trauma rather than by repetitive action.
		If you suspect a repetitive strain injury, make an appointment to see your GP as soon as possible as early diagnosis is important and try adjusting your work practices to reduce the risk of further injury.

	eMedicine - Cervical Strain : Article by Warren Magnus, DO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Following a cervical strain injury, patients may report varying degrees of muscle spasms, which are independent from the severity of injury mechanism.
		Chronic strains (eg, using the neck to hold the telephone, other malposition syndromes) and repetitive motion injuries are often easier to clinically define but pose no less problem in treatment.
		Avoidance of chronic straining (eg, using the neck to hold the telephone, other malposition syndromes) or repetitive motion of neck muscles and/or ergonomic planning and regular breaks can assist in avoiding a significant number of cervical strain injuries.

		A total of 21.5% of the injuries were inflicted with a weapon - 11% with a sharp object, 10.5% with a blunt object.
		Overall, significantly more severe injuries were caused by the use of weapons, than by unarmed physical assault.
		Although surprised that sharp objects were less likely to cause severe injury, the researchers, from the University of Cardiff, said they couldn't discriminate between use of knives or other sharp weapons such as broken glass in the study, which may have affected the results.

	The Daily, Tuesday, August 12, 2003. Repetitive strain injury
		One out of every 10 Canadian adults had a repetitive strain injury (RSI) serious enough to limit their normal activities in 2000/01, according to a new study published today in Health reports, which shows that RSIs are affecting a growing number of adults.
		Repetitive strain injury is an umbrella term for a group of disorders usually caused by repetitive movements that affect the muscles, tendons and nerves.
		For women, reporting an RSI in 1998/99 was associated with increased pain and distress by 2000/01, and among men who reported an RSI in 1998/99, the elevated levels of pain and distress had not declined in 2000/01.

		The low back pain from a sprain or muscle strain back injury is in a broad area of the back and may be on either side, with consequent painful muscle spasms occurring with activity, or at night during sleep.
		The back injury pain is worsened by activities, and bed rest is an absolute necessity for a short period of time - one to three days.
		No diagnostic testing is performed for back injuries, except in a case of unremitting sprain or strain which has been present for several weeks and is not improving as expected.

	Repetitive Strain Injury \| Myofascial Pain-Syndrome
		Repetitive strain causes microtraumas to the muscle belly, and also microruptures at the fibro-osseous junctions where the muscle’s tendon attaches to the bone.
		Common repetitive strain diagnoses that have a strong myofascial component include tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, hip bursitis, and shoulder bursitis.
		Most of the time, however, the primary pathology resulting from repetitive strain injury is not inflammation, but rather it is myofascial pain generated primarily from trigger points in the injured muscles.

		The hamstring is by far the most common injury in 100m sprinters, accounting for two-thirds of all injuries in this event.
		Hamstring injuries are slightly less common in rugby league and union as the players less often reach full speed.
		Although hamstring strains differ greatly in their severity, the ‘average' hamstring strain probably takes 4-6 weeks to fully repair, rather than the 2-3 weeks that most people think.

	General Information - Typing Injury FAQ
		Injury and Somatic Awareness - Knowing about RSI injury risk factors and being able to recognize symptoms when they occur is an important step in avoiding injury, as well as being able to take care of the injury and it's likely cause, when it does occur.
		Unlike most injuries that you can go to a doctor and "get fixed" with little personal effort, RSIs are brought on and aggravated by a variety of stimuli/activities/reasons.
		Products can help address the injury risk factors described earlier, but need to be part of an overall program tailored to your injury and type of work performed.
