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.

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.
