THE EFFECT OF SPECIAL EXERCISES USING LOWPOWER LASER IN REHABILITATING REFLEX ANKLE SPRAIN INJURIES IN ADVANCED BASKETBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

The research aims to prepare special exercises using a low-power laser to rehabilitate a reflex ankle sprain injury for advanced basketball players, and to identify the effect of exercises using a low-power laser to rehabilitate a reflex ankle sprain injury for advanced basketball players. To achieve the goal, the researcher used the experimental method with pre-test and post-test to suit it with the research problem. The research sample was chosen intentionally from advanced basketball players with reflex ankle sprain for Baghdad clubs for the sports season (2023/2024), numbering (12) players representing the original research community. 100%, after diagnosing the injury, its severity, and medical history from the specialist doctor.
