Abstract The current research aims to design a physical and kinetic rehabilitation program after the total ankle arthroplasty. The experimental method was used through the one group experimental design (pre- and post-measurements). The research sample was purposively selected from those who underwent a total ankle arthroplasty, and it consisted of eight patients whose ages ranged between (50-60 years), and the experiment was applied for about five months. A measurement was carried out for the main variables, which are the age, height and weight, and the physical variables, which are the measurements of muscular strength, range of motion, and the static and kinetic balance of the ankle joint. The results showed that using the rehabilitation program has a positive effect in improving functional efficiency of the new ankle joint in (postural, somatic and physical measurements) based on what was shown through the results of the research group between the pre- and post-measurements in favor of the post-measurements. The most important recommendations were to use the rehabilitation program after the total ankle arthroplasty to improve the functional efficiency of the ankle joint (postural, somatic and physical measurements) and applying it widely in the hospitals and clinics, using the water medium because of its effective role in fast healing and rehabilitation after injury, improving the psychological state and introducing fun and joy to the injured. | ||||
