Abstract
Strains of the posterior calf musculature frequently relate to overuse of the gastrocnemius muscle. The principal sports involved are the slower side-toside sports. Treatment routine is composed of pain relief, passive stretching,exercises for the antagonists and later the agonists, and quadriceps exercises. In a series of 720 patients, over a 12-year period, this routine has beeneffective as evidenced by a recurrence of the condition in only 0.7 of the patients. Prevention of the injury is best obtained by regular stretching and strength development routines. Verf.-Referat
