A strain is an injury to a muscle in which the muscle fibers tear as a result of overstretching. A strain is also colloquially known as a pulled muscle or torn muscle. The equivalent injury to a ligament is a sprain.
Typical symptoms of a strain include localized stiffness, discoloration and bruising around the strained muscle.
Strains are a result of muscular fiber tears due to over stretching; they can range from mild annoyance to very painful. Although strains are not restricted to athletes and can happen while doing everyday tasks, people who play sports are more at risk of developing a strain.
The first-line treatment for a muscular strain in the acute phase include five steps commonly known as P.R.I.C.E.
A repetitive strain injury (RSI) is an "injury to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems that may be caused by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression, or sustained or awkward positions." RSIs are also known as cumulative trauma disorders, repetitive stress injuries, repetitive motion injuries or disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, and occupational or sports overuse syndromes.
Repetitive strain injury (RSI) and associative trauma orders are umbrella terms used to refer to several discrete conditions that can be associated with repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression, or sustained/awkward positions. Examples of conditions that may sometimes be attributed to such causes include edema, tendinosis (or less often tendinitis), carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, De Quervain syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, intersection syndrome, golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), trigger finger (so-called stenosing tenosynovitis), radial tunnel syndrome, and focal dystonia.
Strain may refer to:
Injury is damage to the body. This maybe caused by accidents, falls, hits, weapons, and other causes.
Major trauma is injury that has the potential to cause prolonged disability or death.
In 2013 4.8 million people died from injuries up from 4.3 million in 1990. More than 30% of these deaths were transport related injuries. In 2013 367,000 children less than five died from injuries down from 766,000 in 1990. Injuries are the cause of 9% of all death and are the sixth leading cause of death in the world.
The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the International Classification of External Causes of Injury (ICECI). Under this system, injuries are classified by
and additional modules. These codes allow the identification of distributions of injuries in specific populations and case identification for more detailed research on causes and preventive efforts.

Improper posture while working on a computer can cause repetitive strain injuries. For instance, when one’s feet are under the chair, some muscles can form knots resulting in a disrupted knee joint. The angle at the knees and elbows should both be 90 degrees. A person should stop once in a while and get some exercise.
My Site: http://fitnessoriented.com/ Thumbnail Image From © Von Schonertagen Repetitive strain injury, also known as RSI, is a condition that affects many of us in today's society. Because many of us are in static postures while sitting all day, our muscles can become fatigued. These static postures also place constant stress on the muscles to hold your body in a particular position. Over time, this can result in RSI. Repetitive strain injury essentially encompasses many conditions that have to do with you overusing your muscles. These conditions can include Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Golfer's Elbow, Tennis Elbow, and many more. When you have RSI, the muscle pain that results from it can become increasingly more debilitating as time goes on if you do not take action to treat it. Obvio...

We spend most of out time in front of laptops and computers using the mouse, monitor and other accessories. Seldom do we realize that we are exposing ourselves to risk factors like High Repetition, static postures, contact stress and poor postures that in turn increases our chances of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injuries) and other health disorders. OE with support of RECOUP, Neuromusculoskeletal Rehabilitation Centre is organised a one hour session on Ergonomic Solutions with a focus on reducing work related health issues and thereby improving staff productivity, job satisfaction and quality of life.
