Summary

This study examines the link between psychological readiness, knee function, and muscle strength in athletes who had ACL reconstruction surgery. Researchers will measure mental readiness using a special scale and test knee strength with a machine. The goal is to understand why some athletes successfully return to sport while others do not, combining both mental and physical factors.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help improve rehabilitation programs by showing that mental readiness is as important as physical strength for athletes returning to sport after ACL surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. It does not test a new treatment, so it won't directly change care.
