| Abstract | ||||
| This research was conducted to identify the effect of a ground-water rehabilitation program on the speed of returning to normal state after tennis elbow injury. The research was applied on an intentional sample of 11 Egyptian tennis players who are injured with tennis elbow in the time of conducting this research where the diagnosis and injury reports where conducted through a clinical physician. The sample had the medians of age 19.50 years (+/- 0.85), weight 66.50 Kg (+/- 1.08) and length 164.44 cm (+/- 1.56 cm). A questionnaire was distributed among the sample society to determine the exact symptoms of tennis elbow injury where it was proved reliable and subjective. The recommended program was applied on the sample society for 6 weeks, 3 training sessions per week. Pre and post measurements were taken by measuring the range of motion for the injured joint. The results showed the presence of significant differences between the pre and post measurement for the range of motion for the elbow joint in favor of the post measurement a all of the members of the sample society (pre: 70.45+/-1.05 – post: 115.06 +/- 0.34) which proves the advantages of using a water-ground rehabilitation program to speed up returning to the normal state after tennis elbow injuries. | ||||
