title: [Injuries and overload-damages at players of the German lady-soccer-national-team].
abstract: 30 female soccer-national-players were examined sport-orthopedically in a yearly sport-medical examination. Beside the anamnesis, a clinical and manual-therapeutic examination took place with it, just as an isokinetic-strengh-performance-diagnostics of the thight-musculature. The averaged age of the players amounted to 23.6 +/- 3.6 years, the mean value for the BMI amounted 22.2 +/- 1.34 kg/m (2). The examination shows which injuries and overload-troubles appear at lady-soccer-national-players. The most frequent injuries represented band-capsule-damages and muscle strain. Most overload-damages were located in the area of the knee-joints (Chondromalazia patella, patella-top-syndrome) and the feet (flat/splay foot, hallux rigidus). As a conclusion lady-soccer-players should be examined regularly sport-orthopedically in order to uncover functional deficits and overload-damages early. For prevention there should be a regularly training of coordination and proprioception as well as a strength-training of the thight-flexors.
