A precise diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Health professionals use several diagnostic techniques to assess muscle sprains.
Physical examination
The initial evaluation implies:
- Detailed history of injuries
- Pain location and intensity evaluation
- Movement tests
- Palpation to identify
- Force assessment
Imaging techniques
- Radiography
- Exclude bone fractures
- Impossible to directly view damage to soft tissue
- Ultrasound
- Visualization of muscle tissues in real time
- Identifies fiber tears
- Non-invasive
- Profitable
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
- Most complete soft fabric imaging
- Detailed evaluation of muscle fibers
- Identifies a precise place of injury
- Dear
- Used for complex or persistent injuries
Additional diagnostic considerations
- Blood tests to check the inflammation markers
- Electromyography (EMG) for the nerve function
- Biomechanical evaluation
