| Abstract The research aims to design a physical rehabilitation program that includes rehabilitative exercises combined with (ischemia-hyperemia) for the experimental group, and (traditional rehabilitative exercises) only for the control group, to rehabilitate athletes with ACL rupture after surgical intervention. It investigates the program's effect on both groups in terms of two variables (pain level and body balance). The researcher used the experimental design by using two groups (experimental and control). Pre- and post-measurements were applied to both groups. The research sample was deliberately selected, consisting of 10 male athletes aged between 20 and 26 years, all suffering from ACL rupture. They were divided into two groups: a control group of (5) participants who individually underwent the traditional treatment method (a rehabilitation exercise program), and an experimental group of (5) participants who individually followed a rehabilitation program that combined the (ischemia–hyperemia) technique with rehabilitative exercises. Then, the data were collected through applied measurements and statistically analyzed. Based on the statistical analysis, the researcher concluded the following results: There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the (balance) variable during the post-measurement in favor of the experimental group. However, no statistically significant differences were found in the (pain level) measurement. Also, the improvement percentage varied, with overall balance improving by (68.1%) in the control group and (73.0%) in the experimental group. Similarly, the pain level improved by (88.8%) in the control group and (91.8%) in the experimental group. | ||
