The research is titled: The effect of exercises using an anti-gravity treadmill in rehabilitating those with a partial tear in the medial collateral ligament in football players.
The research aims to identify the effect of rehabilitation exercises and the use of an anti-gravity treadmill in rehabilitating those with partial rupture of the internal ligament in football players. The objectives of the research included preparing exercises and using the anti-gravity treadmill in rehabilitating those with a partial tear in the internal ligament in football players, and identifying the effect of rehabilitation exercises and the anti-gravity treadmill in rehabilitating those with a partial tear in the internal ligament in football players. The researcher assumed that there were differences Statistically significant between the pre- and post-tests in favor of the post-test for the experimental group. To achieve the research objectives, the researchers used the experimental method using measurement (pre and post) for one group. The sample was deliberately selected from players of first-class clubs in Baghdad Governorate for the 2023-2024 sports season. The research sample included (10) players with a partial tear in the internal ligament.
The study recommended that rehabilitation exercises and the anti-gravity treadmill have a positive effect in improving the functional performance of the internal ligament. Rehabilitation exercises and the anti-gravity treadmill led to an improvement in muscle strength, an increase in the range of motion of the muscles working on the knee joint, and alleviation of pain. Rehabilitation exercises and the use of the anti-gravity treadmill had an effect. A clear effect in improving fitness among members of the research sample. The most important recommendations are: It is necessary to use rehabilitation exercises and the anti-gravity treadmill by the rehabilitation specialist and physical therapist and to benefit from it as much as possible to rehabilitate the injury of the partial tear of the internal ligament.
