back painIf the first days of spring would like to forget the winter, probably most golfers feel the urge to finally play a few more rounds in the square.

Does not mind. But winter was long. Maybe too long to preserve the physical fitness at the same level.

Perhaps are / were some golfers hit especially in the supposedly inactive season of back pain that threaten to jeopardize the best and most painless start to the season.

Or the back pain was already there before – always. And all the kinky fun in the game, because somewhere in the head had moved permanently the brakes – “… might even be worse, and tomorrow we do nothing more”. Read the rest of this entry »

Statistics show that 25% of injuries affecting the knee. Skiing, however, brings more than 50% of its damage to the knee. All sports can cause injuries of varying degrees of severity at knee may require surgery and a long rehabilitation. Read the rest of this entry »

Your knee is the largest of our joints. It consists of many parts that can all be affected in all kinds of sports. The knee connects the lower part of the femur (the thigh bone) to the upper tibia (the bone that runs from knee to foot). Several ligaments – bands of a solid elastic tissue that connect one bone to another – linking these two bones, keep up and control the Read the rest of this entry »

Who are effectively protected against golf injuries, it must be in addition to the anatomical characteristics of its locomotor also with the biomechanics of Golfschwunges deal. Because the golf swinging in various positions poses a danger to our body through excessive exposure to hurt. Although each individual golfer’s own golf swing has his own analogy finger fingerprint, golfers come under typical injury pattern particularly frequent.

As in any sport can also be found golfing injuries to the typical “weak”. Particularly vulnerable is the spine, especially in the lumbar spine area, where about 50% of all golf injuries are reported. Here we produce during the swing the enormous pressures by the body in the Ausholbewegung like a spiral spring aufdreht when Durchschwung in the opposite direction spring to get strong again in Ausschwung to pervert; this leads besides the high rotational forces in the lumbar spine area to lateral bending and shear. The spine can but only in the lower thoracic spine area relatively good twist.

Differences golfer / golfer
The lumbar spine, which is flexion and extension for better suited, is therefore extremely vulnerable to the enormous burden rotation during the Golfschwunges. For more golfing injuries often occur in the elbow, wrist and shoulder in the field. Injuries in the hips, knees or jump into the joints are less frequently noted. Among the professionals and intensive golf ends Handund wrist injuries and back injuries in the lumbar area most frequently encountered, followed by shoulder and elbow injuries. However amateur golfers are most likely to suffer back injuries, followed by elbow and hand and wrist injuries. Apart from the differences between Amateurgolfern and professionals are also men and women different injury pattern. In men are injuries to the spine in women and violations of the wrists most common. It is estimated that the decreased forearm-muscular women in meeting the burden currently can not absorb enough. That men frequent back injuries TISSUE, which has kraftbetonteren body rotation and the higher swing speeds to be done. The second most found in men elbow injuries among women, however, back injuries. When women are in third place injuries in the elbow area, men those of the wrists and shoulder joints. These men typically come at the right-injury game ends much more frequently in the left shoulder, left elbow and the left wrist before. Muscle activity measurements show that the left upper extremity with right-playing golfers active than the right side. Frequent sources in violation of Ansprechposition and during the back swing
a. Through the inflection in the upper torso forward (round back), instead of the hip flexor extension (straight back), the lumbar spine in the body rotation overly burdened.
b. Hyper-tense and arms, particularly the left arm, and verkrampfte Vorderarmmuskeln too strong grip can lead to complaints and elbow joints hillside area.
c. An overly broad state position (about shoulder width) makes the torso rotation and increases the strain in the back area.
d. A lack of “interlocking” grip or a loose grip on control loss increases the risk of soil contact and hence the risk of injury for elbows and wrists.

Chest pain (DT) represents about 7% of urgent consultations to a hospital.

The causes of DT can be classified into two groups:
. The causes urgent (about 1 / 3 of cases) that put the patient’s life in danger and require a rapid transfer to hospital.
. The non-urgent cases (about 2 / 3 of cases) no immediate life-threatening and can usually be treated as an outpatient.

Causes Urgent: Frequency (hospital)
. Acute coronary syndrome 30%
. Pulmonary embolism 3%
. Aortic dissection 1%
Pneumothorax extended or switched 1%
. Pericardial tamponade with myocarditis or 1%

Non-urgent causes:
. Esophageal disorders 20%
. Musculo-skeletal 20%
. Anxiety disorders 26%
. Pneumonia 26%
. Zona chest 26%
. Pneumothorax small 26%
. Pericarditis “mere” 26% Read the rest of this entry »
