Suggested rehabilitation exercises in the treatment of partial rupture of the deltoid muscle in the shoulder joint and its impact on the range of motion of the throwing arm for the effectiveness of discus throw

Abstract

The rehabilitation process following injuries is crucial and requires careful attention from rehabilitation specialists. Injuries pose significant challenges for athletes, particularly in activities like discus throwing. This study aimed to develop suggested rehabilitative exercises targeted at rehabilitating partial ruptures of the deltoid muscle within the research sample. The researcher employed the experimental method using a one-group design style. The sample comprised four players from Baghdad clubs who had sustained partial deltoid muscle ruptures. The results indicated that the experimental variable played an effective role in the research sample, as evidenced by significant improvements in joint angle measurements across all tests. The proposed rehabilitative exercises proved highly effective in swiftly restoring the normal ranges and flexibility of the deltoid muscle within the shoulder joint among the research sample. Additionally, these exercises demonstrated a positive influence in significantly reducing the rehabilitation period required for recovery, indicating their efficacy in promoting expedited healing and functional restoration.
