Abstract
Purpose: This study investigates the effectiveness of combining rehabilitative exercises with the Galvanic device to restore shoulder joint flexibility and enhance hoop skills in female rhythmic gymnastics students. It emphasizes the role of sports medicine specialists in supporting injured athletes by designing targeted exercises for moderate tears in the posterior shoulder muscle and assessing their impact on flexibility and performance. Materials and Methods: An experimental method was used, employing a control group design with pre-and post-tests. The study involved 35 third-year female students from the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Kufa, with five students identified as having moderate tears in the posterior shoulder muscle. Participants were selected based on medical examinations, with parental and institutional consent secured before the study began. Results: The study found that rehabilitative exercises combined with the Galvanic device significantly improved shoulder flexibility, reduced pain, and enhanced hoop skill performance in female rhythmic gymnastics students with moderate posterior shoulder muscle tears. Conclusions: The findings revealed that rehabilitative exercises combined with the Galvanic device significantly improved shoulder flexibility, reduced pain, and enhanced performance in rhythmic gymnastics skills. The researchers recommend integrating the Galvanic device with rehabilitative exercises to address similar injuries effectively.
