Abstract
A Sprain refers to a torn or stretched Ligament. The origin of this term has been linked to a French word “Espraindre” which means “to push out” or “to press out”. Falling, twisting or getting hit can cause damage to the Ligaments which are bands of tissue responsible for connecting two bones and provide stability to a joint. Sprain usually presents in an individual with symptoms such as pain, swelling, bruising or discoloration and difficulty moving the affected joint.
