Rehabilitative exercises and their effect on improving the physical efficiency of the knee joint in patients with partial tears of the cruciate ligament

Abstract

Sports medicine, which is one of these sciences that guides us on how to treat sports injuries to make the player fully physically and functionally ready, is one of the modern therapeutic methods. The problem of the research lies in answering the following question: (Is there an effect of rehabilitative exercises in improving the physical efficiency of the knee joint for athletes with partial rupture of the cruciate ligament?), and the goal of the research is to identify the effect of rehabilitation exercises in improving physical efficiency. The researcher assumed that rehabilitation exercises have an effect in treating a partial rupture of the cruciate ligament. The researcher used the experimental method in the manner of two equal groups to solve the research problem. He defined the research population as players with partial rupture of the cruciate ligament. The researcher chose his sample intentionally, and they were divided into two experimental and control groups, each group 4. Injured people constituted 73% of the research population. Homogeneity and parity were carried out in the research variables for the first group. As for the second group, it did not receive any treatment. For a week after that, a post-measurement was taken. After that, measurements were taken with a dynamometer to measure strength (anterior curl, posterior curl, extension range of motion, flexion range of motion) and measurements of the range of motion were taken with a dynamometer device (extension. flexion) for both groups. Immediately giving the first group was given qualifying exercises for (4) weeks for each group, then dimensional measurements were taken, and the researcher used the SPSS statistical package to process the results. The arithmetic mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and t-test for correlated samples and (t) test for independent samples were extracted. The tables were presented, analyzed, and discussed, and the researcher reached the following results: The benefit of qualifying exercises in the rehabilitation of a partial cruciate ligament tear injury. The researcher concluded that rehabilitative exercises have a significant impact on the improvement of the injured player. The researcher recommends conducting other studies of rehabilitative exercises on joints other than the knee joint and finding other therapeutic methods and means in treating the knee joint after exposure to injury.
