The effect of neuromuscular exercises in rehabilitating grade 1 ankle sprains among college volleyball team players
Main Article Content
Abstract
Ankle sprains are common injuries among female volleyball players, affecting mobility and athletic performance, and increasing the likelihood of recurrence if rehabilitation is not properly implemented. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a neuromuscular exercise program on the rehabilitation of grade 1 ankle sprains. The research employed an experimental design, measuring pre- and post-implementation measurements on injured college team players. The program lasted for eight weeks and included exercises focused on balance, peripheral strength, and joint control. The results showed a significant improvement in ankle functional stability, increased range of motion, and reduced pain associated with the injury. The study recommends incorporating neuromuscular exercises into rehabilitation and prevention programs to reduce the recurrence of ankle injuries among female players.
