The Two researcher used an experimental design with a single experimental group, as it is suitable for the nature of the research. The research sample, consisting of eight males aged 35-40 years, was selected purposively. The results of the study showed that the proposed rehabilitation program using shockwave therapy achieved a high level of pain reduction, muscle strength restoration, and improvement in range of motion and functional efficiency of the ankle joint.
