Contact injuries occur when external force or impact from another person, object, or surface causes damage to muscles, joints, ligaments, or bones. Common in contact sports and accidents, these injuries range from bruises and sprains to fractures and concussions. They can limit mobility and performance if not managed properly. Early assessment and physiotherapy-based rehabilitation are essential for safe recovery, pain relief, and prevention of long-term complications.
Causes of Contact Injuries:
- Tackling or collisions in sports (e.g., rugby, football)
- Falls or slips onto hard surfaces
- Blows from equipment or objects
- Accidental strikes during physical activity
- Road traffic or workplace accidents
- Poor protective gear or technique in contact sports
Symptoms of Contact Injuries:
- Localized pain and swelling
- Bruising or skin discoloration
- Restricted movement in the affected area
- Tenderness to touch
- Muscle weakness or joint instability
- Deformity (in case of fractures)
- Difficulty bearing weight or performing activity
