(English) Episode 20-Beyond the Brace - How Psychological Readiness Transforms Ankle Sprain Recovery

Although multiple scales exist to evaluate psychological readiness before returning to sport post‐lateral ankle sprain (LAS), no score has been validated specifically for LAS or chronic ankle instability. The main aim of the study is to evaluate the validity and reproducibility of the ankle ligament reconstruction‐return to sport injury (ALR‐RSI) scale in assessing psychological readiness after LAS and its ability to identify patients who can return to their preinjury level.(Picot B, Grimaud O, Rauline G, Haidar I, Moussa MK, Hardy A.
