Abstract
BURGOS ANGULO, Darley Jhosue; PERLAZA ESTUPINAN, Alex Arturo; LOOR MENDOZA, Walter Isaac and MORALES FISCHER, Boris René. Effects of specialized exercises in the rehabilitation of grade 1 ankle sprain in soccer players. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2023, vol.42 Epub Dec 01, 2023. ISSN 1561-3011.
Introduction:
Injuries in soccer players cause limitations in musculoskeletal mobility, causing a passive rest, and therefore non-compliance with the principle of systematic training; Therefore, it can cause sports abandonment in extreme cases, and usually a decrease in performance. Recovery through therapy requires an assessment of its efficiency, and it is necessary to study the most effective actions from the therapeutic point of view.
Objective:
To assess the effects of an intervention process with therapeutic exercises for the rehabilitation of grade 1 ankle sprain in soccer players.
Methods:
Descriptive/explanatory research of quasi-experimental order and longitudinal approach (4 years of study), researching 43 soccer players with a previous ankle injury due to grade 1 sprain (Group 1: Experimental, Group 2: Control), intervening in the experimental group. with three phases of treatment, which includes a group of specialized physical exercises to strengthen and maintain optimal muscle conditions.
Results:
The experimental group required less time to recover from a sprain injury (p ( 0.001), while the recurrence of the injury was less than in the control group (p ( 0.019) in a period of four years.
Conclusions:
The intervention process has been effective in achieving better rehabilitation in the experimental sample, in terms of speed in the recovery process, and in terms of reducing relapses in a four years period. Once the athlete has recovered, it is recommended to systematically continue with the strengthening and prevention process in training sessions and at home.
