“…Psychological readiness serves as a one of many predictors for an athlete's ability to RTS following surgical intervention. Psychological readiness is characterized by low levels of impediments including fear and anxiety and higher levels of dsuch as confidence, motivation, and realistic expectations [20,21]. Psychological readiness is measured using the ACL-Return to Sport After Injury (ACL-RSI) and the Injury-Psychological Readiness Return to Sport (I-PRRS) scales [11,12,20].…”

Psychological readiness is measured using the ACL-Return to Sport After Injury (ACL-RSI) and the Injury-Psychological Readiness Return to Sport (I-PRRS) scales [11,12,20]. The ACL-RSI is a patient reported questionnaire that utilizes concepts of emotions, confidence, and risk appraisal to provide specific measurements of psychological readiness to RTS or pre-injury level of sport [11,12,22].…”

“…The I-PRRS scale tracks a patient's level of confidence at specific points during their rehabilitation [18], which is used to determine the patient's psychological readiness to RTS [23]. The I-PRRS scale allows for the evaluation of psychological readiness irrespective of the type of injury, while the ACL-RSI scale is used solely to assess psychological readiness of individuals recovering from ACLR [20,22,23].…”

“…Evaluation of high versus low self-esteem, high versus low self-efficacy, optimism versus pessimism, and confidence versus anxiety can be a first step in treatments aimed at modifying harmful attitudes. Psychological rehabilitation is deemed necessary due to the inherent difference in timeline that exists between reaching physical readiness versus psychological readiness [20,46,47]. Psychological rehabilitation focuses on those who are more susceptible to the negative effects of the psychological factors of ACLR rehabilitation and RTS [20].…”

Psychological rehabilitation focuses on those who are more susceptible to the negative effects of the psychological factors of ACLR rehabilitation and RTS [20]. Hsu et al hypothesized that addressing the psychological factors that have been previously identified such as fear of reinjury would assist patients in their RTS and preinjury level of sport [6].…”

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common injury in young athletes. To restore knee stability and function, patients often undergo ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Historically, there has been a focus in this population on the epidemiology of ACL injury, the technical aspects of ACL reconstruction, and post-operative functional outcomes. Although increasingly recognized as an important aspect in recovery, there remains limited literature examining the psychological aspects of post-operative rehabilitation and return to play following youth ACL reconstruction. Despite technical surgical successes and well-designed rehabilitation programs, many athletes never reach their preinjury athletic performance level and some may never return to their primary sport. This suggests that other factors may influence recovery, and indeed this has been documented in the adult literature. In addition to restoration of functional strength and stability, psychological and social factors play an important role in the recovery and overall outcome of ACL injuries in the pediatric population. Factors such as psychological readiness to return-to-play (RTP), motivation, mood disturbance, locus of control, recovery expectations, fear of reinjury, and self-esteem are correlated to the RTP potential of the young athlete. A better understanding of these concepts may help to maximize young patients’ outcomes after ACL reconstruction. The purpose of this article is to perform a narrative review of the current literature addressing psychosocial factors associated with recovery after ACL injury and subsequent reconstruction in young athletes. Our goal is to provide a resource for clinicians treating youth ACL injuries to help identify patients with maladaptive psychological responses after injury and encourage a multidisciplinary approach when treating young athletes with an ACL rupture.
