The difference between a sprain and a strain is that a sprain injures the bands of tissue that connect two bones together, while a strain involves an injury to a muscle or to the band of tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone.

Sprain: ankle, anything dealing with the joints of the bone.

Strain: your leg muscle, thigh, arm, wrist and anything dealing with tissues in the body.
