Abstract
Objective
The purpose of this study was to examine factors correlated with psychological readiness to return to activity after ACLR.
Design
cross sectional study.
Setting
controlled laboratory.
Participants
164 patients (82 M/82 F, 22.5 ± 8.9yr, 171.6 ± 11.0 cm, 77.4 ± 18.6 kg, 8.6 ± 3.4 months post-ACLR) participated in this study after a primary, isolated, and uncomplicated ACLR.
Main outcome measures
ACL Return to Sport Index (ACL-RSI).
Results
ACL-RSI scores demonstrated a weak positive correlation with activity level at the time of injury and a fair positive correlation with activity level at the time of post-operative testing (p-values: 0.004, <0.001). ACL-RSI scores showed a statistically significant fair negative correlation with pain and a moderate negative correlation with kinesiophobia during rehabilitation (p-values: <0.001, <0.001). There was no statistical significance between ACL-RSI and the surgical variables (p-value range: 0.10–0.61).
Conclusions
Outcomes from testing during postoperative rehabilitation were most correlated with psychological readiness to return to activity after ACLR. Increased pain and kinesiophobia were associated with a decreased psychological readiness. Increased activity level prior to injury and activity level at the time of testing during rehabilitation were both correlated with increased psychological readiness. Psychological readiness to return to activity may need to be customized based on potentially modifiable patient-specific factors during the post-operative rehabilitation.
期刊介绍:
Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science.
The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
