The most common soft tissues injured are muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These injuries often occur during sports and exercise activities, but sometimes simple everyday activities can cause an injury.
This document discusses and defines different types of soft tissue injuries: contusions (bruises), sprains, tendonitis, bursitis, stress fractures, and strains. It provides details on the causes, symptoms, and typical treatment for each type of injury, which generally involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). More serious injuries may require surgical intervention if tissues are completely torn. The document is intended to educate on the classification and management of various soft tissue damages.
According to experts, soft tissue injuries of the knee are the most common disorders presenting to the emergency department. Each year, more than 1 million emergency department visits and almost 2 million primary care visits occur due to acute knee pain.
Sports injuries can be acute like sprains and fractures or chronic like tendinitis. Some injuries can be treated at home while others require a doctor. It is important to properly recognize and treat sports injuries so they heal correctly. Common injuries include muscle strains, ligament sprains, tendonitis, and fractures. Treatment depends on the type of injury but generally involves RICE - rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Rehabilitation may also be needed to prevent long-term issues.
1) Tendons connect muscle to bone and ligaments connect bone to bone. They are both susceptible to acute injuries from trauma or overuse injuries from repetitive stress.
2) Common tendon and ligament injuries include strains, tendinitis, tendinosis, subluxation, ruptures, and sprains. Symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of motion.
3) Treatment depends on severity but generally involves RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation), bracing, physical therapy, or sometimes surgery. Prevention focuses on strength training, wearing proper protective equipment, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
This document discusses common sports injuries affecting the muscular, skeletal, and locomotor systems. It describes injuries such as fractures, dislocations, shin splints, muscle strains, tendonitis, and tendon separations. For each type of injury, it outlines symptoms and recommended treatments, which generally involve rest, ice, compression, elevation, and physical therapy or surgery if needed. The goal is to properly treat and rehabilitate injuries so athletes can heal and return to play.
Ligament Injuries - Types, Symptoms and TreatmentHealth Quest
Ligaments connect bones and support joints. Ligament injuries occur when a joint is stressed beyond its normal range of motion, causing the ligament to tear. Common symptoms include sudden pain, swelling, instability, bruising and inability to move the joint. Treatment depends on the severity but may include physical therapy, NSAIDs, bracing and sometimes surgery for severe injuries. Rest is important to allow healing.
Sports injuries can be acute like sprains and fractures or chronic like tendinitis and overuse injuries. Common bone injuries include fractures which cause breaks in the bone. Fractures are often diagnosed based on symptoms like swelling, bruising, deformity and pain. Treatments include splinting, casting, and sometimes surgery. Joint dislocations occur when the joint slips out of place, causing symptoms such as swelling, pain, and immobility. Treatment may include medication, surgery, or physical therapy. Muscle strains can cause tearing or damage and result in swelling, bruising, pain, and weakness. Initial treatments include RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) along with anti-inflammatory medications and physical

A sprain involves the stretching or tearing of a ligament or joint capsule connecting two bones, while a strain involves stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon. Sprains typically occur from a joint being forced beyond its normal range of motion, and strains occur when a muscle is stretched and suddenly contracts. Both sprains and strains are graded based on severity from mild Grade I injuries involving some stretching to severe Grade III injuries where the ligament or muscle is completely torn. Mild injuries are usually treated with rest, ice, compression and elevation.
Musculoskeletal injuries commonly occur from sports and daily activities. Common sports injuries include contusions, sprains, strains, and fractures. Sprains involve ligament tearing and are commonly seen in the shoulder, knee, and ankle. Strains are muscle or tendon tears that can be acute or chronic. Treatment of these injuries often involves RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) followed by physical therapy.
This document discusses work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) of the elbow.

Empyema is a disease of respiratory system It is defines as the accumulation of thick, purulent fluid within the pleural space, often with fibrin development.
Empyema is also called pyothorax or purulent pleuritis.
It’s a condition in which pus gathers in the area between the lungs and the inner surface of the chest wall. This area is known as the pleural space.
Pus is a fluid that’s filled with immune cells, dead cells, and bacteria.
Pus in the pleural space can’t be coughed out. Instead, it needs to be drained by a needle or surgery.
Empyema usually develops after pneumonia, which is an infection of the lung tissue. it is mainly caused due in infectious micro-organisms. It can be treated with medications and other measures.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

The most common soft tissues injured are muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
These injuries often occur during sports and exercise activities, but
sometimes simple everyday activities can cause an injury.
Soft-tissue injuries are classified as the following:
● Contusions (bruises)
● Sprains
● Tendonitis
2. ● Bursitis
● Stress injuries
● Strains
Athletes and nonathletes share many similar soft-tissue injuries.
Cause
Soft-tissue injuries fall into two basic categories: acute injuries and overuse
injuries.
● Acute injuries are caused by a sudden trauma, such as a fall, twist,
or blow to the body. Examples include sprains, strains, and
contusions.
● Overuse injuries occur gradually over time when an athletic or
other activity is repeated so often that areas of the body do not
have enough time to heal between occurrences. Tendinitis and
bursitis are common soft-tissue overuse injuries.
What is a contusion?
A contusion (bruise) is an injury to the soft tissue often produced by a blunt
force, such as a kick, fall, or blow. The result will be pain, swelling, and
discoloration because of bleeding into the tissue. Treatment for contusions
includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation (R.I.C.E.). More serious
contusions may need to be examined by a doctor.
What is a sprain?
A sprain is a partial tear to a ligament and is often caused by a wrench or
twist. Sprains often affect the ankles, knees, or wrists. The treatment for a
sprain includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation (R.I.C.E.). If the ligament is
completely torn, surgical repair may be necessary.
3. Ankle Sprain
Ligaments are fibrous, elastic bands of tissue that connect and stabilize the
bones. An ankle sprain is a common, painful injury that occurs when one or
more of the ankle ligaments is stretched beyond the normal range of motion.
Sprains can occur as a result of sudden twisting, turning or rolling
movements.
Muscle Strain Injuries of the Hip
What is tendonitis?
Tendonitis is inflammation of the tendon, a flexible band of tissue that
connects muscle to bones. Tendonitis is often due to an overuse injury in the
affected area from repetitive motion. Areas commonly affected include the
elbow, hand, wrist, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. Often the tendonitis is
named for the sport or movement that triggers the inflammation, such as
tennis or golfer's elbow, swimmer's shoulder, and jumper's knee.
Treatment involves healing the inflamed area with rest, compression,
elevation, and anti-inflammatory medicine. Ice may be used in the acute
phase of injury. Stretching and strengthening exercises can gradually be
added to help avoid further injury. Steroid injections may be used for some
types of tendonitis if chronic pain persists. If a tendon is completely torn,
surgery may be required.
What is bursitis?
Bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that provides a
cushion between bones and muscles or tendons. Like tendonitis, bursitis is
often caused by overuse injury, but can also be caused by direct trauma to a
joint. Bursitis commonly affects the shoulder, elbow, knee, hip, ankle, and foot.
Treatment involves rest, compression, elevation, and anti-inflammatory
medicine. Ice may be used in the acute phase of injury to reduce swelling.
4. Injections may be needed if pain and swelling persist. If the bursitis is caused
by an infection, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics.
What is a stress fracture?
A stress fracture is a small crack in a bone, commonly occurring in the
weight-bearing bones of the lower extremities, including legs, hips, and feet.
Stress fractures are most often caused by overuse and increase in physical
activity. Initial treatment includes stopping the activity that caused the
fracture, elevation, ice, and anti-inflammatory medicine. Continued treatment
includes rest, decreasing weight-bearing on the affected area, shoe inserts or
braces, and possibly cast immobilization. If the crack in the bone progresses
further to a complete break, surgery may be required.
What is a strain?
A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon, and is often caused by overuse,
force, or stretching. The treatment for a strain is rest, ice, compression, and
elevation (R.I.C.E). If a tear in the muscle occurs, surgical repair may be
needed.
