أثر برنامج علاجي تأهيلي لإصابة مفصل الكاحل لدى لاعبي التنس

Abstract EN

The present study identifies the effect of a rehabilitation treatment program among tennis players with ankle injuries.

To achieve this purpose, an experimental design was employed.

The sample of the study consisted of (10) tennis players with ankle injuries selected from Al-Hassan Sports City Club at Irbid Governorate.

The following devices were used: a goniometer used to measure the motion range of the ankle (Plantarflexion, Dorsiflexion, Inversion and Eversion), and the Short Waves device for joint treatment.

The data obtained were analyzed statistically using means scores, standard deviations and t-test to indicate the significant differences between the pre-post measurements.

The results revealed a statistically positive effect of the treatment program on the ankle injuries of tennis players.

There were also statistically significant differences between the means scores of pre and post measurements in the degrees of joint sprain due to Plantar flexion, Dorsiflexion, Inversion and Eversion, in favour of post-measurement in all variables.

Furthermore, a statistically significant effect of the treatment program and rehabilitative exercises on the improvement of the ankle injury was found.

The researcher recommends the necessity of providing organized and planned treatment exercises that are consistent with the scientific bases in terms of their intensity and appropriateness and that contribute to increasing the flexibility and motion range of the ankle joint.
