The Impact of Rehabilitation Exercises with The Cryo Cooling Device on Improving Some Biomechanical and Biochemical Abilities in Weightlifters Suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Abstract

The research aims to introduce modern methods and techniques to rehabilitate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by using rehabilitation exercises with the Cryo cooling device for weightlifters suffering from this syndrome. The problem statement addresses how sports injuries can be a significant psychological and physical barrier to reaching higher levels of performance. The researcher, being a weightlifting athlete and familiar with local championships and training units, notes that weightlifters in some sports clubs often suffer from various sports injuries, with CTS being one of the most significant. This injury is caused by the extreme movement in snatch and clean and jerk exercises, leading athletes to be away from training for extended periods. The study aims to develop rehabilitation exercises with the Cryo cooling device to improve some biomechanical and biochemical abilities in weightlifters with CTS. The research community included a sample of weightlifters with CTS from Samawah, Basra, Maysan, and Dhi Qar governorates. The key findings indicate that the rehabilitation exercises designed by the researcher using the Cryo cooling device have a positive impact on rehabilitating CTS in weightlifters. The recommendations suggest the use of physical therapy devices due to their importance in improving the injury and reducing pain, contributing to the athlete's return to normal status after the injury.
