Abstract

The objective of this study is to design a rehabilitation program involving the use of suspension training straps and find out whether it helps improve the range of motion for injuries of the medial elbow muscle tendons. It is assumed that there exist statistically significant differences between the pre-tests and post-tests concerning the range of motion in the elbow joint, in favor of the post-test results. The experimental approach is used, with the adoption of the single-group pre-test/post-test experimental design. The research population includes seniors tennis players that have sustained injuries to their medial elbow muscle tendons at Middle Euphrates clubs. The sample group is selected through a total enumeration method, with five players being diagnosed as having suffered such injuries by an expert physician. After the pilot test and pre-test process, the main experiment was carried out over a period of eight weeks, conducting three rehabilitation sessions weekly for every participant due to conflicting schedules among them. Exercises were developed in order to enhance range of motion and strengthen the medial tendons. We conclude numerically that the differences were significant for the bending variable, which reached (0.002), and for the extension, which reached (0.001), at a significance level of (0.05), which indicates the improvement that occurred in the research sample. It is recommended to use this technique in all types of injuries as well as to apply it to other types of games, and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Good Health).
