The Effect of Hydrotherapy on the Comprehensive Rehabilitation of Football Players After Surgical Intervention of Meniscus Injury
The research is to determine the impact of hydrotherapy on the overall recovery of football players after surgical intervention for meniscus injuries. The study challenge centres on the deficiency of rehabilitation approaches using hydrotherapy exercises, specifically addressing the total rehabilitation of football players after surgical intervention for meniscus injuries. The researchers employed an experimental methodology and intentionally selected a sample of six patients who had recently been discharged from the hospital following medical treatment and stabilisation of their health. Subsequently, the researcher devised a series of exercises tailored for execution in a water medium, which were administered to the sample after conducting pre-tests. Following three months of exercise implementation, post-tests were administered, revealing significant differences indicative of improvement in abilities. The research focusses on agility and balance. The researchers concluded that the prepared exercises significantly improved the outcomes of the post-tests compared to the pre-tests, indicating a development in the motor abilities examined. Consequently, they emphasised the importance of incorporating water exercises into the training curricula and utilising the exercises developed by the researchers.
