What is adapted injury?

Adapted injury refers to the physiological and structural changes that occur in an organism in response to stress or injury, allowing it to cope with or recover from the damage. This process can involve cellular adaptations, such as hypertrophy or hyperplasia, and may enhance the organism's resilience to future injuries. It is often seen in tissues that experience repeated stress, such as muscles or bones, where adaptation leads to improved strength and function. However, if the stress is too great or prolonged, it can lead to maladaptive responses and further injury.
