Rehabilitation sports in orthopedics and surgery

Possible diagnoses: Surgery: Possible diagnoses: These clinical pictures require long-term training in order to fully rehabilitate the affected participants physically and psychologically and to avoid consequential damages or relapses (recurrences). The group of participants with unspecific musculo-skeletal pain (back, neck, shoulder and headaches without a clear pathological background) is most frequently represented in rehabilitation sports groups and is getting younger and younger. This is particularly due to the daily lack of exercise and stereotypical everyday postures at school/study and at work (computers, smartphones, game consoles).

In addition, the demands and stress levels at school and at work are becoming ever higher. Chronic psychosocial stress in combination with physical causes induces the chronification of pain. Lifelong accompanying sports compensatory exercise from childhood on is essential to counteract this increasing problem.

However, the dosage is often not sufficient when sport is already being practiced. 150 minutes of sporty activity of different quality and objective week represents a time problem for many humans there, apart from the internal pig dog times completely. Priority goals in orthopedic/surgical rhea sports: The main focus of orthopedic and surgical rehabilitation sports is on strength coordination and mobility training and training of body awareness.

Strength exercises from various starting positions, stretching and coordination exercises with or without playful character are offered. The load is increased by adding dumbbells/weight cuffs, flex bands, pezzi balls or X-cores. Especially the execution of the exercises on mobile bases promotes the training of the deep stabilization muscles and is fun.

Relaxation techniques for body and mind in individual or partner work such as trigger point relaxation, progressive muscle relaxation or body travel interlock and round off the hours as a conclusion. Sports games or stretches are also recommended as a cool down. Especially with increasing arthrosis, joint-relieving water gymnastics is recommended.

  • Non-specific, especially chronic back/neck/head/joint pain, which can be caused byB. due to muscular instability, recurrent functional disorders, stereotypical everyday postures, lack of mobility and lack of exercise
  • Specific back pain due to e.g. herniated disc, narrowing of the spinal canal, scoliosis
  • Pain in shoulders, hips, knee joints caused e.g.

    by hip or knee joint malpositions, bad posture, axial malpositions of the joints, degenerative joint changes, soft tissue injuries

  • Non-specific, chronic pain in shoulders, hips and knee joints, caused by a lack of movement resulting in postural deformity, restricted mobility and loss of strength
  • Non-specific generalized pain syndromes e.g. fibromyalgia
  • Prosthetics in hip joints/knee joint/shoulder joint
  • Rheumatic diseases/arthroses
  • Osteoporosis
  • Scoliosis
  • Amputations
  • Conservative (without surgery with immobilization by splints, plaster, bandages) treated bone fractures with and without joint and soft tissue injuries, spinal fractures (with osteosyntheses: plates, screws, fixator) caused by falls, sports injuries, injuries in the household, occupation car/bike accidents
  • Surgically treated fractures of the extremities or the spine with and without joint and soft tissue injuries caused by falls, sports injuries, injuries in the household, occupation car/bicycle accidents (osteosyntheses (plates, nails, screws, fixator, bone cement))
  • Prosthetics in hip joints/knee joint/shoulder joint
  • Conservative (without surgery) treatment of joint, ligament and tendon injuries
  • Surgically treated joint, ligament and tendon injuries with ligament or tendon reconstruction
  • Cancer of the locomotor system
  • Amputations
  • Pain relief
  • Increase of muscle power and strength endurance of the “large skeletal muscles” and the “small stabilization muscles
  • Improvement of inter- and intramuscular coordination
  • Increased mobility of the spinal column and extremity joints
  • Improvement of the body perception and the ability to relax
  • Functional improvement for the strains of work and everyday life

Common clinical pictures: goals: The main focus of rehabilitation sports in internal medicine is especially endurance training, breathing training, relaxation, training of body awareness and improvement of mobility. Through endurance training, a higher level of performance and resilience is achieved. It is very important that the participants get a feeling for their own resilience by improving their self-perception.

On the one hand, this can be important in order to avoid excessive stress, e.g. after a heart attack, and on the other hand to approach the possible stress limits in order to achieve an increase in performance. In the breathing training, breathing techniques and breath-facilitating starting positions are taught, which have a breath-facilitating and secretion-relieving effect, for example in asthma or chronic bronchitis. This can be done with appropriate breathing exercises or playfully through sports games, which train endurance in particular.

In addition, chest mobilizing exercises are indicated for respiratory restrictions, since free respiratory movement can only occur with mobile thoracic spine and rib joints. There are special groups of 90 minutes for participants with heart disease. The presence of a physician is ensured and a defibrillator is attached to the wall of the sports hall in case of emergency.

  • Respiratory diseases, especially COPD (chronic bronchitis, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis), tumors of the respiratory system
  • Heart attack, coronary heart disease, congenital or acquired heart defects, heart insufficiency, arteriosclerosis, condition after heart surgery
  • Overweight to obesity (obesity)
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Arterial or venous circulatory disorders
  • Cancer diseases
  • Chronic pain diseases/fibromyalgia
  • Improvement of cardio-pulmonary endurance (heart and lung performance)
  • Improvement of strength endurance and mobility
  • Regulation of blood pressure, blood sugar and body weight
  • Strengthening of the immune system
  • Social integration
