Summary Excerpt Details

In this work there will be discussed three different problems. The first and most difficult is about the spine. In this case there are many problems and problems have the most restric-tive effects on humans life. The other part of the body, which is part of this work, are the arms. In this part of the body there can also be many diseases originated. But these have not such restrictive effects like problems or diseases with the spine. The reason is that the spine plays a more important role in the movement of the body. The third group of diseases or disorders are located in the legs. In this case the people have also a restricted life.
In every part of the body there can be the same basic problems. These can be fractures, muscle ruptures, problems with the ligaments and other cartilages problems. But these are all diseases with a strong effect coming from outside. On the other hand there are diseases which are coming from other aspects, e.g. due sport or other exercises. These can be over-load damages.
But in every case doing sport can help to heal the diseases. So this work will also describe in which way the sport or special exercises will help people to heal the illness.

Objectives and Topics

This seminar paper explores various orthopaedic problems, physiological disorders, and diseases affecting the spine, arms, and legs. The primary objective is to describe these medical conditions and examine how physical activity and specialized exercises can contribute to the healing process and the improvement of patients' quality of life.

  • Analysis of structural disorders and diseases of the human spine.
  • Examination of injuries and mobility restrictions in the arms.
  • Evaluation of feet and leg deformities and their impact on movement.
  • The role of therapeutic exercise and physiotherapy in patient rehabilitation.

Excerpt from the Book

2.2 Morbus Scheuermann

The first disease is the Morbus SCHEUERMANN. 30 % of the young people have this disease. It affects predominantly male teenagers.

The background is, that the spine grows in young years like the rest of the body and also the whirl bodies grow up. If there is different growing up or there is a grow disorder the problems began to start. So Morbus SCHEUERMANN is a growing disorder of the spine. The whirl bodies grow in the front faster than in the back part. In this context there were also build wedge whirls. A consequence of this is the formation of a round back. This is the typical picture and a symptom of this disease. Another consequence is that the rooms between the whirls become smaller and the disks don’t have enough space between the whirls. So these are points where the pain is biggest. In the worse case the disk room is breaking down and the whirls rub together.

For this disease there are different reasons. In the hole the reasons can split into two groups. The first group are the endogen reasons. These are e. g. genetic or hormone chances. The second group are the exogen reasons. For example, when a child does a lot of sport in the beginning of the life, maybe gymnastic, there can be faulty burdens. So at this way the child gets this disease. On the other side can be metabolic disorder a reason to get this illness.

Summary of Chapters

1. Introduction: This chapter introduces the focus on musculoskeletal problems of the spine, arms, and legs, highlighting the vital role of sport in rehabilitation.
