Muscle strain - what does this mean
Muscle strain occurs when a muscle is overstretched or torn due to excessive force or activity. this can happen when a muscle is stretched beyond its normal range of motion, when it is forced to contract too quickly or too forcefully, or when it is exposed to a sudden increase in pressure or resistance. it can also occur when a muscle is fatigued from overuse or has been weakened by a previous injury.
What happens during the disease - muscle strain
Muscle strain occurs when the muscle fibers are stretched beyond their limit, often resulting in the tearing of the muscle fibers. this can happen due to overexertion, repetitive motion, or a sudden movement. the muscle strain can cause pain, swelling, and loss of range of motion in the affected area.
