Julia Hickelsberger-F\u00fcller made it – she is Austrian soccer player of the Year 2022!<\/a> This is the result of hard work after setbacks, such as injuries. In professional sports, injuries are particularly feared, and a quick comeback is usually the ultimate goal. After her severe knee injury, the Austrian women’s national soccer player Julia Hickelsberger-F\u00fcller was treated with STAPPONE Physio<\/a> <\/b>with partial weight-bearing training and soon after was able to achieve huge therapy successes.<\/i><\/p>\n A professional athlete\u2019s biggest fear became reality for her: Julia Hickelsberger seriously injured her knee during a European Championship qualifying tournament in September 2020. The result was a knee ligament surgery followed by intensive rehabilitation. Her supervising physiotherapist Patrick Kasztner<\/a> explains that in the physiotherapeutic treatment of a knee injury, the reconstruction of the thigh muscles and postural control are essential. Rehabilitation often takes up to 6 months and means a long absence from professional training.<\/p>\n Full weight-bearing after only 6 weeks<\/b><\/p>\n Julia Hickelsberger started her prescribed physiotherapy after surgery at the Vienna Sport physiotherapy & Performance Center<\/a> supervised from Patrick Kasztner. For the first 6 weeks they trained partial weight-bearing using live biofeedback. The pressure on the operated leg was precisely and constantly checked with STAPPONE Physio<\/a>\u00a0<\/b> and the pressure was continuously increased to arrive at full weight-bearing. Already after 6 weeks full weight-bearing was possible and they started to work on optimizing the postural control.<\/p>\n Comeback with stapp\u200aone.<\/b><\/p>\n Mobilization with partial weight-bearing using stappone\u00a0helped Julia Hickelsberger to relearn and optimize the feeling of the correct weight-bearing.<\/p>\n \u201cThe live biofeedback training with the stappone sensor soles really motivated me and supported my rehabilitation\u201d the professional soccer player says happily.<\/p>\n stappone contributed significantly to this positive outcome with its playful training method.<\/p>\n The intelligent stappone sensor soles measure and visualize the live foot pressure. The visualization of the biofeedback on a smartphone or tablet enables not only therapists, but also patients to control their exercises. So stappone offers the possibility of checking oneself during training \u2013 a unique and playful approach that motivates and inspires.<\/p>\n As in the example of Julia Hickelsberger, the patient can work with balance training games. stappone provides objective data that can be used to visualize and compare the progress made during training.<\/p>\n Do you have questions about the use of stappone in your clinic or practice?
