Definition

Medical training therapy is used to build up and restore muscular deficits that have occurred in the context of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system.

Indication

Muscular deficits in the sense of hypo- or atrophy occur in a variety of diseases of the orthopedic-traumatological field; exemplary examples are atrophy of the M. quadriceps femoris after injuries of the knee joint or atrophy of the back muscles in the context of chronic pain conditions of the spine.

Contraindication

A reduced general condition, diseases, for example of the cardiovascular system, acute infections and malignancies may constitute contraindications.

Implementation

The aim of medical training therapy is to initiate movement patterns and achieve mobilization of functional movement chains. First and foremost, muscle endurance and strength are built up through targeted strength training, also on equipment; complex movement patterns and coordination are improved concomitantly.

Aftercare

Medical training therapy must be embedded in an overall therapeutic concept in which physiotherapy, physical therapies and pharmaceuticals are important additional pillars.
