Questions doing with skeletal/muscular system?

001. Describe what one might have to do to cause a sprain.
002. Describe what one might have to do to cause a tendon to totally tear or develop tendonitis.
003. A person w/ a totally torn tendon will prevent a person from lowering his foot. Muscles contract when they work. The Gastrocnemius shortens & pulls the foot down. Migt the foot be raised if the Achilles tendon is totally torn? Why? Might a person with a totally torn Achilles tendon still e able to move his leg? Why?
Haha, actually , I only need #3 now. I get 1 & 2.
