Injury Overview
•
•
•
•
•
Sprain: Stretching or tearing of ligamentous or capsular tissue.
Strain: Stretching or tearing of muscle fibers.
Tendinitis: Inflammation of the muscle tendon.
Fracture: A break in bone or cartilage.
Dislocation: Disassociation of the joint’s articulating surfaces
caused by forces that rupture many of the joint’s soft tissue
restraints.
• Stress Fracture: A fracture caused by repetitive stress, as may
occur in sports, strenuous exercise, or heavy physical labor.
Foot Injuries
• Plantar Fasciitis
– Inflammation of the plantar fascia
– MOI:
• Acute: Forced dorsiflexion with toe extension
• Chronic: Increased activity, additional running
distance, changing surface, and/or using new/different
shoes
Foot Injuries
• First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Sprain (“Turf
Toe”)
– Sprain of the 1st MTP joint.
– MOI:
• Hyperextension of the 1st MTP joint.
Ankle Injuries
• Inversion Ankle Sprain
– MOI: Inversion, plantarflexion, or
talor rotation in any combination
• Eversion Ankle Sprain
– MOI: Eversion and/or rotation
• Syndesmosis Sprains (“High Ankle
Sprains”)
– MOI: External rotation of the
talus and/or dorsiflexion
Ankle Injuries
• Achilles Tendon Rupture
– Rupture of the Achilles tendon
– MOI: Forceful plantarflexion with eccentric
loading (usually the result of eccentric
loading or plyometric contraction of the calf
musculature)
• Achilles Tendinitis
– Inflammation of the Achilles tendon
– MOI: Overuse or secondary to acute trauma
(example: a blow to the tendon), improperly
fitting shoes rubbing on the tendon may also
activate the inflammatory response
Rehabilitation
