Özet
Effective management of sports injuries depends on accurate diagnosis and a personalized rehabilitation program. The primary goal of rehabilitation is to safely return the athlete to sports, prevent recurrent injuries, and fully restore functional capacity. The rehabilitation process typically begins with controlling pain and inflammation, followed by restoring joint mobility, increasing muscle strength, improving proprioception, and continuing with sport-specific exercises. A multidisciplinary approach requires collaboration between physical therapists, orthopedists, sports physicians, and athletic trainers. Biomechanical analyses and objective measurements to assess progress enhance the effectiveness of rehabilitation. Psychological support is also critical in helping athletes maintain motivation throughout the recovery process.
