An approach to rehabilitating ankle joint stiffness and its impact on the physical capabilities of team sports players

Abstract

The importance of the research lies in the connection between physical education and the science of sports medicine because of its important role in treating those injuries that may expose the player to danger on the one hand, or rehabilitating and protecting athletes from those injuries on the other hand, and it created the necessity to find solutions and scientific means to reduce the injury or treat it and rehabilitate it. As quickly as possible, the researchers decided to address this problem and prepare an integrated rehabilitation approach using rehabilitation exercises with different repetitions and different means, including (rubber bands and weights) and therapeutic devices, as they are important and effective in removing cases of dysfunction of the muscles and joints and finding the best ways to reach the degree of complete recovery of the joint. Ankle and the player's rapid return to the field. The researchers concluded that the curriculum prepared by the researchers led to a significant increase in joint flexibility for all members of the research sample, and there is a discrepancy between the measurements in the tests before implementing the prepared rehabilitation curriculum and after its implementation through the results of the research in the physical capabilities of the sample members suffering from ankle joint stiffness. The curriculum was also shared. Rehabilitation used to strengthen the muscles working on the ankle joint and treat stiffness
