The effect of stretching exercises associated with shock waves in improving the range of motion of the injured wrist and thumb joint De Quervain syndrome, ages (45-50) years

Abstract

Rehabilitation is a process of renewing health and the ability to work by various means, where we can obtain the maximum physical - psychological - and social possibility of recovery or survival of the disease in a chronic manner, as well as works to renew the ability to work. The research aims to prepare stretching exercises accompanied by shock waves and to identify the effect of these prepared exercises on women with De Quervain syndrome at the International Medical Center. lead to inflammation of two tendons that move the thumb from the tendon sheath, and the pain increases when holding or rotating the wrist; Therefore, the two researchers decided to use appropriate therapeutic methods that shorten the time and effort to reach a state of recovery, which is one of the important things to reach the best results in treatment, and from here the researchers decided to use stretching exercises with the help of modern technical devices represented by shock waves to reduce inflammation and increase the range of motion for patients with De Quervain syndrome. The two researchers hypothesized that there are statistically significant differences between the pre and post-tests in changing the motor range of women with De Quervain syndrome. The two researchers used the experimental approach due to its suitability for the research, as the injured women were divided into two groups, the two groups performed the pre-tests, then stretching exercises were applied to the experimental group only, then the experimental and control groups were tested in the post-test, and the research community was identified and appointed by the intentional method, and they are the injured in the medical center international women who represent the same research community. After publishing the advertisement for free and several reviews at the International Medical Center, the two researchers fixed the number of patients with De Quervain syndrome and determined the average degree of injury. They were collected and explained to them that they are the research sample and the stretching exercises prepared by the researchers will be applied to them. The two researchers concluded that the exercises used with shock waves had a positive effect on reducing inflammation and increasing the motor ranges of the research sample
