Abstract
PURPOSE: The anterior cruciate ligament-return to sports after injury (ACL-RSI) scale assesses the psychological impact of returning to sports (also referred to as psychological readiness) after ACL reconstruction. The aim of this study was to evaluate important measurement properties of the Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale. METHODS: Ninety-three participants who underwent ACL reconstruction filled out the Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale, the Tampa scale for kinesiophobia (TSK), the International Knee Documentation Committee-Subjective Knee Form (IKDC-SKF), and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). To assess test re-test reliability, 50 of the 93 participants re-answered the Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale within 10 days. Floor and ceiling effects, internal consistency, construct validity, and reliability of the Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale were analysed. RESULTS: There were no floor and ceiling effects. The Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.912). It was positively correlated with total points of IKDC-SKF and the Lysholm score, and with the all sub-categories of the KOOS, and it was negatively correlated with the TSK. Reliability of the Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale was satisfactory. CONCLUSION: The Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale has acceptable measurement properties. It can be a useful for evaluation of psychological readiness for return to sports in Japanese athletes who undergo primary ACL reconstruction. Information provided by the Japanese version of the ACL-RSI scale may also help to identify athletes who find return to sport a challenge, and guide conversations regarding treatment and rehabilitation plans. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.
