The Effect of Rehabilitation Exercises on Moderate Wrist Sprain Injuries Among Second- and Third-Year Students in Artistic Gymnastics at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a proposed rehabilitation program on improving wrist joint function and reducing pain among artistic gymnastics students suffering from moderate wrist sprain injuries. The researcher used an experimental method with a single-group design on a sample of 23 injured students. Data were collected using physical tests, pain assessment, and range-of-motion measurements. After collecting and statistically analyzing the results, it was concluded that the rehabilitation exercises had a positive effect on improving wrist joint function among artistic gymnastics students. The study recommended generalizing the applied rehabilitation program to students in other academic stages and to those with similar injuries in other sports.
