Abstract

The main cause of muscle injury is mechanical damage to the muscle tissue, which is characterized by symptoms such as pain syndrome, swelling and loss of functional activity of the muscle. This review summarizes current literature data on the types of mechanical muscle injury, their research models in vivo, and mechanisms for restoring muscle tissue after injury. Systems of classification of mechanical muscular trauma, clinical pictures of varieties of mechanical injuries and methods of their diagnosis and therapy were compared.

Keywords: muscle injury; diagnosis; therapy.
