Zusammenfassung

Im vorliegenden Artikel wird eine Zusammenfassung der häufigen Beschwerden beim Golf aus sportmedizinisch/orthopädischer Sicht vorgenommen. Zum besseren Verständnis werden die entscheidenden Phasen des Schwungs in Korrelation zu den Verletzungsmöglichkeiten gestellt. Golfer sind vor allem bedroht von LWS-, Ellenbogen-, Hand- und Handgelenksproblemen, Schulter- und Kniebeschwerden. Unterschieden werden müssen akute Verletzungen von chronischen Gesundheitsbeschwerden und degenerative Leiden, welche mit golfspezifischen Bewegungen in Konflikt geraten und verstärkt werden können. Die häufigste Ursache gesundheitlicher Probleme im Golf sind Überanspruchung, schlecht trainierte Muskulatur und mangelhafte Technik.

Abstract

Health problems as seen in golf from the viewpoint of sports medicine and orthopedics are described. For better understanding important phases of the swing are analysed in correlation with possible lesions. Golfers mostly suffer from lumbal spine, elbows, hands and wrists, as well as from shoulder and knee disorders. We must differentiate between problems of the acute injuries and chronic disorders, whereas degenerative problems may interfere with specific golfing movements and are thus aggravated. The most likely causes of muscle joint and bone disorders are overuse, inadequately trained muscles and poor technique.
