Objectives:
To examine differences in psychological readiness and self-reported function based on pre-operative risk factors at time of return to sport (RTS) after adolescent shoulder stabilization. Our secondary purpose was to assess the relationship between pre-operative shoulder instability history and psychological readiness at time of RTS testing.
Design:
Multi center retrospective cross-sectional study.
Setting:
Pediatric hospital.
Participants:
52 participants (65 % male; 16.5 ± 1.3 years old; 5.9 ± 1.0 months post-surgery).
Main Outcome Measures:
Shoulder Instability Return to Sport after Injury scale (SI-RSI), Quick-Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, Hand (QuickDASH), number of pre-operative instability episodes.
Results:
Median SI-RSI score was 75.4 IQR (62.5-88.3) at time of RTS testing. Females reported significantly lower SI-RSI scores compared to males (65.0, IQR: 50.9-79.2 vs 77.9, IQR: 65.7-90.1; p = 0.034). There were no significant differences in SI-RSI scores in patients with greater than 3 instability events compared to patients with 1 or 2 instability events (p = 0.866). SI-RSI and QuickDASH scores displayed a moderate negative correlation (r = -0.51, p = 0.001).
Conclusion:
Males and females after shoulder stabilization surgery report differences in psychological readiness at time of RTS. Pre-operative instability history was not related to SI-RSI scores at time of RTS testing, but SI-RSI scores are related to subjective function.

01:20Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
01:26Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
