Patients' Mental Barriers in Rehabilitation after ACL Reconstruction: A Qualitative Interview Study
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to explore the psychological barriers faced by patients during rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and the role of physiotherapists in facilitating psychological readiness for return to sport. Through qualitative interviews with nine patients, they identified key themes related to the mental landscape of rehabilitation, the importance of support systems, and the development of personal strategies for mental recovery. The study underscores the need for a holistic rehabilitation approach that addresses both physical and psychological challenges.
