∙ 14y agoA stretched ligament is called a sprain. a Grade 1 sprain is a stretched ligament. It will be mildly uncomfortable, but mostly stable with some swelling. Grade 2 sprain is a partial tear, more pain, more swelling, and some instability of the joint are expected. A Grade 3 sprain is a complete tear. A moderate amount of swelling that happens quickly after injury, joint instability, sometimes a "pop" is heard. Sometimes there is less pain with a complete tear versus a partial tear. Depending on what ligament and how much blood flow it gets, surgery may be required to repair a grade 3 sprain.

∙ 15y agoNo the ligaments in the legs can not be stretched unless the bone or joint the ligament carries blood and calcium through can stretch. Ligaments can only stretch during puberty in humans because during puberty bones, muscles, tendons and skin grow and/or stretch.

∙ 10y agoA ligament can contract. Ligaments can even be injured by being stretched too far from their normal position. This is why people are encouraged to go a little further stretching slowly rather than forcing oneself to stretch as far as possible the first time. The contraction of the ligaments is what happens when the stretch is released and the muscle is allowed to return to its normal position.
