Muscle Bruises- Grading



1st degree- Little or no range of motion loss.
2nd degree- Noticeable loss or range of motion.
3rd degree- Severe restriction of range of
motion. Fascia may be ruptured causing
muscle tissue to protrude.
Sprains and Strains Grading



1st degree- Limited pain, only microtearing of
the collagen fibers, no loss of function.
2nd degree- More intense pain, partial tearing
of the tissue, joint instability and muscle
weakness.
3rd degree- Severe pain, complete tearing, loss
of ROM, complete instability.

Grade I: Neurapraxia: temporary loss of sensation
and/or motor function.
Grade II: Axonotmesis: significant motor and mild
sensory losses.
Grade III: Neurotmesis: motor and sensory losses
persisting for up to one year.
