The Effectiveness of a Rehabilitation Program Based on Improving the Load Symmetry Index between the Upper Limbs in Reducing the Severity of Wrist Joint Pain in Wheelchair Fencing Players with Mobility Disabilities

Abstract

The research aims to identify the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program based on improving the load symmetry index between the upper extremities in reducing the severity of wrist joint pain in wheelchair fencing players with mobility disabilities. The researcher used the experimental method by designing one group (before-post) on a deliberate sample of (4) players. The intensity of pain was measured using the Digital Pain Scale (NRS), measure the grip force with a dynamometer, and then calculate the load symmetry index (%). The results showed a decrease in pain intensity and an improvement in the load symmetry index after the program, indicating its practical feasibility in rehabilitation and support for a safe return to training.
