المستخلص

This research aims to measure the effectiveness of pre-surgical rehabilitation on the range of motion of the knee joint and the pain level in athletes suffering from meniscal tears. The researcher used the experimental method by conducting pre- and post-measurements for a single experimental group. The research population included athletes diagnosed with meniscal tears scheduled for surgery during the specified period, with a total of six (6) participants To collect the research data, the researcher used a goniometer to measure the knee joint’s range of motion and a visual analogue scale to assess pain intensity. The training program was designed and implemented by researchers using various tools and devices.The main findings of the research indicated that the designed program had a positive effect on improving pain levels and contributed to maintaining the normal motor efficiency of the injured knee joint, preventing any decline in the range of motion during the rehabilitation period. The results also showed that the positive effects of the program continued even after the completion of the intervention. The researcher recommended continuing the use of progressive resistance exercises as part of therapeutic rehabilitation programs.
