The Effect of a Proposed Rehabilitation Program Using Therapeutic Exercises for Iliopsoas Tendonitis Rehabilitation of the Hip Joint in Athletes

Abstract

Among the common injuries affecting the hip joint in athletes is iliopsoas tendinitis. This condition leads to pain in the anterior hip region and restricts the joint’s range of motion, negatively impacting athletic performance. Therefore, it was necessary to design a rehabilitation program that facilitates a safe and rapid return to sports activity while preventing recurrence or future complications.The study aimed to prepare a proposed rehabilitation program using therapeutic exercises to rehabilitate iliopsoas tendonitis of the hip joint in athletes. The researcher employed the experimental method with a one-group design. The study population consisted of seven athletes from various sports diagnosed with this condition. Four participants were selected intentionally after excluding three for different reasons.The research variables included muscle strength, range of motion, and pain level, which were assessed pre- and post-intervention. Data were statistically analyzed, presented, and discussed. The results revealed a clear improvement in the degree of iliopsoas tendon inflammation in the hip joint among the athletes, reflecting the effectiveness of the structured rehabilitation program with its three stages in eliminating inflammation and restoring normal motor function.The researcher recommends applying the proposed rehabilitation program in physiotherapy centers and sports clinics, particularly for athletes suffering from hip tendonitis.
