The College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for Girls, University of Baghdad, witnessed a doctoral thesis discussion entitled (The Effect of Rehabilitation Exercises with Different Training Media After PRP Technology on Some Bio Motor Abilities of Patients with Partial Meniscus Tears for Baghdad Club Volleyball Players) by the researcher (Riyam Imad Jassim). The discussion committee consisted of the Dean’s Assistant for Scientific Affairs, Prof. Dr. Suhad Hassib, as Chairman, Prof. Dr. Huda Badawi Shabib as Supervisor, Prof. Dr. Suhad Qasim Saeed as a member, Prof. Dr. Basem Hassan Ghazi, as an external member from the University of Kufa, Asst. Prof. Dr. Lamia’a Abdul Sattar Khalil as a member, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Ahmed Muhammad Abdul Khaliq is an external member of the University of Baghdad. The study aimed to focus on modern trends in sports medicine and various specialities to rely on medical methods in treatment and rehabilitation away from drug and chemical treatments that may have negative complications that affect the rehabilitation process. Therefore, platelet plasma injection is one of the medical methods that can be used, in addition to employing different training environments as an attempt to treat partial meniscus tear injury in Baghdad club volleyball players, moving away from what is familiar in rehabilitation and trying to combine training and rehabilitation to achieve the desired goal.
The study’s results showed a positive contribution of PRP technology to the speed of recovery for Baghdad club volleyball players injured with meniscus tears. In addition, its use with rehabilitation exercises in different environments improved the condition of those injured with meniscus tears. The training environments used, aquatic, sandy, and dry, had a clear positive effect on motor abilities.
The researcher recommended emphasising the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in other sports activities under the supervision of a specialised cadre, adopting rehabilitation exercises that were prepared with different training environments in developing the rehabilitation of patients with partial meniscus tears and improving the range of motion of the knee joint, conducting studies using different training environments to develop previously unstudied physical, skill and functional abilities. This discussion achieves one of the sustainable development goals represented by the fourth goal of quality education.
