HANDBALL PLAYER’S RECOVERY AFTER THE INJURY OF THE ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT

Abstract

In this study, we have tried to make a recovery treatment with kinetic exercises, for the postoperative recovery of the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and its reconstruction by ligamentoplasty, of a performance handball player, active for 13 years, male, 24 years old, in helping him return to his sporting life and the active life he has, in the shortest possible time. Thereason why I chose to do this study is obvious in the foreground being my personal recovery after ligamentoplasty, also to improve my theoretical and practical knowledge about this condition, and as a physiotherapist to be able to help other athletes, colleagues, who face the problem of returning to the sports field as soon as possible, and to have the same performance as before the surgery. The duration of the kinetic recovery program was 5 weeks, starting from the first day after the intervention. This program began with an initial assessment by joint testing and muscle testing on the first day, before starting the proposed recovery program. The physiotherapy program consists of 26 exercises, which can be done in a physiotherapy room, with the help of a physiotherapist. This program was applied twice a day to theresearch subject, obtaining positive results.
