Helmut stretching man playing beach volleyball. At least once a week. He has built a private field. There, he trained with his team-mates from the Lehndorfer TSV, or with his colleagues from work.
The wäre not more erwärise value, hätte of the 77-Jäover the years and it is not a künstliches knee. In 2015, the Operation was. Since then, a ­ is located in his left leg;so-called total endoprosthesis (TEP): a complete künstliches knee joint, consisting of metal and plastic.
Stücoming soon and jerky movements are critical
That reck man football plays, even his surgeon, Professor Karl-Dieter Heller, chief of the OrthopäJewish hospital the-Duchess-Elisabeth – Hospital in Brunswick, a bit of concern. Schließlich gehört, the sport, and for good reason, not to the disciplines, the Ädoctors patients with joint replacement recommend. The Sturzrisk and the KräRTD, the häoften jerky Stoßmovements on the joints, are groß. Generally, doctors advise, but also – or just – to move with a joint prosthesis. Training kräengaged in muscles and Bäwhich in turn contribute to the artificial joint well gefüis hrt and remains stable.
"The better the muscle coat, the better you can Sport treiben", Dr. Sonja Herzberg, Chefä says;rztin of the clinic für Orthopäthe Rehazentrum Bad Bocklet in Bavaria, Germany. When the prosthesis nänamely to be heavily loaded, without Bäand muscles, you schüprotect and stabilize, it is faster to Verschleiß: The materials RUB stästronger together, the prosthesis is.
It Affected should be aware of:
- Only after three to six months, the artificial joint is fully usable and the prosthesis to the bone. "This is especially true für Hüstem prostheses, the cement werden" attached free;, Orthopäde ­ says;Brighter. After that, you can almost uneingeschränkt sports. Prior to that, there is a need to move locker.
- Avoid High-Impact sports in which stoß- like movement and change take place or it is quickly stücan you gain.
- "Three Times per week for 45 minutes to an hour of exercise are optimal", Brighter says. To zählt also quick to Go.
- "The sportier of the Patient before the procedure, the better and faster he can after the SURGERY again mobile werden", Orthopä says;din Sonja Herzberg. It has a Sports well controlled, you can enter the rule again.
- Üyou don’t berfordern. Even with small sporting Maßthey took a lot to do für your mobility and health. "Walk, ride a bike, this is wunderbar", medical professionals, Karl-Dieter Heller says.
Güother sports
The prosthesis is unstable, it must be replaced. All goes well, will remain knee – and Hüstem prostheses but 15 to 25 years in Köbody.
With Sport and exercise köcan patients with küartificial joints complications. In the case of knee prostheses Ä rates;doctors to sports such as Walking, Cycling, Aqua fitness, Swimming, strength training, Hiking in the mountains with Stöhide or Dance.
"Fließat the end of movements with möas possible little stoßstick loads are gut", Karl-­ says;Dieter Heller. In küartificial Hüshops row is added or aerobics without Sprünge. Everything that is regarded as a High-Impact Sport, so contact and team sports, such as Fußball, Basketball, combat sports, or even Volleyball, erhödamage to ht, the risk of the prosthesis.
Sports cannon in spite of the prosthesis
As Helmut Reckmann shows, heißt, but not automatically, that it is not feasible. The 77-Jäover the years and it has driven his entire life. In his youth he was engaged in gymnastics. "With the time I hurt myself, always häsingle-stage. Since it was clear, soon is here Schluss", Reckmann says. As he began to study, höon rte he. Already at that time, the Ä found;doctors at him Knieschäthe.
Nevertheless, Reckmann don’t want to live without stäto move fully. "Without sports etwas" missing me;, he says. He watched as a lifeguard at the German life saving society (DLRG) for many years, the Küguests of the Baltic sea island of Fehmarn, built his house in complete self-started später again, with the gymnastics, then Volleyball. Today, he makes at least twice a week, strength training once Wirbelsäulentraining and once in senior fitness. If he has sometimes not in the mood to go to the Training? No. If his colleagues ancall, spontaneously, he grabs his sports bag and is on the way.
So, the knee surgery could not verdrießen – especially since it was not the first of its joints. The Fußjoints and at the other knee, he was out of surgery. Already in the rehab he climbed on Krücover the näprovided by the nearest mountain.
Hiking with two küartificial Hüshops
Lars Rehmann is back to Hiking, with his wife and two children. He now has two küartificial Hüshops. The first procedure two years ago was not easy für Rehmann. "After that, my entire circulatory System at the Boden" was;, he remembers. On the day of surgery to get up as recommended and unterstüis tzt – it was impossible to.
But it was week-to-week is better, and the ambition to be mobile again, grabbed the today, 42-Jämen. After eight weeks, he was back in the Büro. Today, Rehmann is very glühappy that he is in artificial joints has. "The pain was just unerträpossible geworden", he says. "When I once with my daughter in a shopping centre 200 metres to a Geschäft wanted to go, and in pain I cried, because it was enough for me."
Without Tennis, it’s not
Also Rehmann hält fit. With strength training, the Ergometer and Stabilitätsüexercises. At least twice a week. Für him is as good as nothing. Lars Rehmann comes from the performance sport. In the 90s, zähe missed Germany’s Top-Nachwuchstalent in Tennis, his Name came up in connection with Nicolas Kiefer, Tommy Haas or Rainer Schüshakers.
However, a Hüftdysplasie and probably also through the power of sport früh the beginning of the end of arthrosis stopped Rehmann on his way into the Tennis Elite. Today, the Selbstverstä helps him;sensitivity that for years he täresembled several hours trained.
In contrast to Helmut reckermann weiß Rehmann quite a bit with the term "inner Schweinehund" start. "Of Spaß on the could not at the time sein" really the speech Move;, he says. Today genießt he Sport. It is, however, also made clear: "To have no pain is a gift."
Lars Rehmann is now and again regelmäßig Tennis. Without it is not. The loved one together with his children. The näto the brakes can no longer be hidden. Äsimilar to Helmut reckermann. Für him beach volleyball with kü is even;nstlichem joint selbstverstäof course. Just like his künstliches knee.
Bandage against Kälte
Only once spürte he has to drive in the Winter on a Bicycle that something Strange in his leg. The wind had the metal is probably very auskümiss. "I cut mine from an old Neoprenanzug, I still had to swim from the rescue, a Stück from the knee out." This Bandage, he roams now in Kälte über. All is well.
