Abstract:
Psychological readiness in return to sport has been recently identified as an important factor in addition to physical function. A number of psychological factors have been identified; however, fear of reinjury (ie, kinesiophobia) has been identified as an important risk factor associated with worse outcomes related to return to sport. Several validated questionnaires and surveys are available to evaluate psychological factors. Return to sport following shoulder instability and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is an important area of study. There are many factors, including gender, that affect an athlete's ability to return to sport following surgical intervention.
