1. Risk kinds of sport:
Frequent injury with Tennis, Squash, Volleyball, Basketball, Badminton, handball and all jump disciplines2. Anatomy:
The large calf muscle rises with its two heads at the thigh bone above the knee throat. Its stringy portion (Achilles' tendon) sets at the rear heel bone.3. Function:
The muscle accomplishes the downward movement of the jump joint. It is in the conditions to lift the weight of the body when standing and going (toe conditions). Its strength becomes particularly clear with the point dance, with which a maximum foot joint diffraction is necessary. Special meaning attains the muscle also when going, running and jumping, since it is responsible not only for taking the heel off but also for the diffraction in the knee joint.4. Injury mechanism:
Tore the muscle or also the muscle-tendon-transition of the interiorlateral calf musculature with dynamic sporty activity5. Symptoms:
- Sudden pain in the calf (stinging)- Going only with limping possible
- muscle defect (depression) even gropable
- later a effusion of blood can show up
6. First measures:
- Break: immediate completion of the sport- Ice: Cool within the range concerned
- Compression: Put on a flexible bind
- High putting: Upside-down position and leg increase placings
7. Diagnostics:
- orthopedic investigation- Ultrasonic
8. Therapy:
a) Conservative therapy- flexible sticking federation (tape dressing)
- Sales increase, in order to avoid the stretch stress
b) Operational therapy
- no necessity
9. Physiotherapy / rehablitation:
- Lymphdrainage- Electrical therapy
- Stretches
- MTT (medical training therapy) after approximately 2 weeks
- Fango after approximately 1 week
10. Prevention:
- good warming up- provide for sufficient liquid supply (electrolyte household)
- possibly high socks/long pants of the warmth because of wear
Caution: The demarcation to the Achilles' tendon tear can be difficult and must take place via the physician.
