Validation of the Short Form Shoulder Instability Return to Sport After Injury (SIRSI-5) and Its Association With Return to Sports.

Background: Psychosocial readiness is thought to be important in establishing whether athletes are ready to return to sports (RTS). The 5-item Shoulder Instability-Return to Sport After Injury (SIRSI-5) is a short-form version of the 12-item questionnaire (SIRSI-12), which was validated in a postoperative Argentinian population and associated with psychological readiness to RTS. It is unknown if the SIRSI-5 is valid in surgical and nonsurgical populations in other geographic locations.

The "glass shoulder": Patients' lived experiences of a traumatic shoulder dislocation - A qualitative study.

Background: Anterior shoulder dislocations have a high recurrence rate, often necessitating stabilizing surgery, with residual long-term fear of reinjury.

Objectives: To explore patients' experiences of anterior shoulder dislocations in relation to their lives, well-being, fear of reinjury, and future perspectives.

Design: Qualitative study.

The supine moving apprehension test-Reliability and validity among healthy individuals and patients with anterior shoulder instability.

Background: Performance-based tests for patients with anterior shoulder dislocation are lacking. This study determined the reliability and validity of the supine moving apprehension test designed to assess the ability to control anterior instability loads.

Methods: Thirty-six participants were recruited (18 healthy individuals, and 18 patients following anterior shoulder dislocation).

Reliability and validity of the K-force grip dynamometer in healthy subjects: do we need to assess it three times?

Introduction: Digital dynamometers to assess grip strength are becoming more common in research and clinical settings. The aim of the study was to assess validity and reliability of the K-force dynamometer compared to the Jamar dynamometer. We also aimed to assess differences over the course of three measurements.
