Abstract

The study aimed to prepare exercises using infrared radiation and identify its effect on the rehabilitation of women with osteoarthritis at the age of (40) women. The researchers assumed that there were statistically significant differences between the results of the rehabilitation tests for women with osteoarthritis (muscular strength, degree of pain, range of motion) pre and post. For the research group, the experimental method was adopted by designing the experimental group on a sample that was intentionally chosen by (100%) of the women suffering from this injury who are attended by the Al-Warith Center for Physiotherapy / affiliated with the Abbasid Shrine, who number (6) injured. The researchers prepared the rehabilitation exercises according to systematic steps that took a period of time to prepare and implement for the period extending from (5/1/2023) until (5/19/2023), with an application rate of (3) consecutive qualifying weeks, each week of which (3) units represented Rehabilitation sessions, bringing the total number of sessions to (9) rehabilitation units. The conclusions are that applying rehabilitative exercises using infrared rays helps rehabilitate women suffering from knee osteoarthritis by developing the strength of the muscles surrounding the joint and thus getting rid of the injury. It was determined that there were significant differences at the p<0.05 level of Muscular strength, Motor range and Degree of pain. The researchers recommend the need for centers to pay attention to Physiotherapy and should develop the expertise of the therapists working in it on how to apply rehabilitative exercises using infrared radiation in light of the findings of this study.
