The Impact of a Rehabilitation Program Using Mental Training on the Recovery of Partial Tear Ligament Injuries of the Shoulder Joint in Wrestlers
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to prepare a rehabilitation approach using mental training and physical exercises. The researcher used the experimental approach with two groups: experimental and control, applying the principle of pre- and post-test. The sample consisted of 10 wrestling players with partial ruptures in the shoulder joint ligaments and they were selected intentionally. A rehabilitation program was applied using mental training and physical exercises to the research sample. The researcher concluded that the proposed rehabilitation curriculum using mental training had a positive effect in accelerating the healing process by restoring the normal range of motion for the research sample members. The researcher recommended the necessity of including mental training techniques such as mental imagery and psychological relaxation within the rehabilitation programs. He also called for conducting more research to study the effects of mental training on different types of sports injuries
