Causes of Sprains and Other Soft Tissue Injuries
Trauma is the most common cause of soft-tissue and other musculoskeletal injuries. Trauma includes Direct force, as occurs in falls or motor vehicle accidents or during some sports, such as football Repeated wear and tear, as occurs during daily activities or results from vibration or jerking movements Overuse, as may occur when athletes overtrain How severe an injury is depends partly on how strong the force is. Sprains and strains are common .
