application areas
In the case of device-supported physiotherapy / physiotherapy, the exercises are carried out on medical training equipment (cable pulls, medical strength training equipment, bicycle ergometers, etc.), taking into account the training theory.
Device-assisted physiotherapy is useful for any form of muscular instability (Postural weakness, spinal misalignments, herniated disc, recurring "blockages", muscle weakness after immobilization after injury or surgery, symptoms of paralysis) and with Decrease in heart and lung function (chronic respiratory and or cardiovascular diseases).
The use of the various devices is based on the creation of an individual training plan, which results from the different problems of the patient and the desired therapy goal, i.e. the therapist tests the various areas such as cardiovascular function and strength of the patient before instructing them to perform the exercise correctly. Variables are the number of exercise repetitions, the type and speed the execution of the exercise, the use of weights and resistances. During the training sequence, the therapist controls the execution of the exercise and possibly monitors the cardiovascular function.
The effects of training on the various devices differ according to the choice of device and the respective objective. Usually a training sequence consists of a warm-up part Ergometer equipment, a strength part of strength training equipment and a "cool down" = warming up program together.
A sequence of stretching exercises promotes mobility, but does not prevent it aching Contrary to what was hoped for, it still effectively prevents the risk of injury. Therefore the main part of the stretching take place in the warm-up part and not in the cool down.
Effects
- Improvement from Cardiovascular system and respiratory function („ condition", Endurance increase)
- Improvement of Muscular blood flow and Oxygen depletion
- Improvement of Muscle function, mostly the Strength endurance in therapeutic training
- Automation of functional motion sequences
Accompanying the training sequence in the weight room, the physiotherapist should provide exercise instructions for at home with the aim of improving "stamina", (Nordic walking, jogging, swimming, cycling), mobility (mobilization, stretching exercises) and strength (use of small devices: Thera-band ®, dumbbells, weight cuffs, mobile documents), since a training intensity of 2-3 units per week is necessary.
A corresponding additional qualification of the therapist is necessary for this service.
Appointment with ?
I would be happy to advise you!
Who am I?
My name is dr. Nicolas Gumpert. I am a specialist in orthopedics and the founder of .
Various television programs and print media report regularly about my work. On HR television you can see me every 6 weeks live on "Hallo Hessen".
But now enough is indicated ;-)
In order to be able to treat successfully in orthopedics, a thorough examination, diagnosis and a medical history are required.
In our very economic world in particular, there is too little time to thoroughly grasp the complex diseases of orthopedics and thus initiate targeted treatment.
I don't want to join the ranks of "quick knife pullers".
The aim of any treatment is treatment without surgery.
Which therapy achieves the best results in the long term can only be determined after looking at all of the information (Examination, X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, etc.) be assessed.
