Purpose: Psychological readiness scores have been developed to optimize the return to play in many sports-related injuries. The purpose of this study was to statistically validate the ankle ligament reconstruction-return to sport injury (ALR-RSI) scale after modified Broström-Gould (MBG) procedure.
Methods: A similar version of the ACL-RSI scale with 12 items was adapted to quantify the psychological readiness to RTS after MBG and to describe construct validity, discriminant validity, feasibility, reliability and internal consistency of the scale, according to the COSMIN methodology. The term "knee" was replaced by "ankle". The AOFAS and Karlsson scores were used as references patient-related outcome measurements (PROMs).
Results: A total of 71 patients were included. The ALR-RSI score after MBG procedure was highly (r > 0.5) correlated to the AOFAS and Karlsson scores, with a Pearson coefficient r = 0.69 [0.54-0.80] and 0.72 [0.53-0.82], respectively. The mean ALR-RSI score was significantly greater in the subgroup of 55 patients who resumed sports activity compared to those that no longer practiced sport: 61.9 (43.8-79.6) vs 43.4 (25.0-55.6), (p = 0.01). The test-retest showed an "excellent" reproducibility with a ρ intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.93 [0.86-0.96]. The Cronbach's alpha statistic was 0.95, attesting an "excellent" internal consistency between the 12 ALR-RSI items.
Conclusion: The ALR-RSI score is a valid and reproducible tool for the assessment of psychological readiness to RTS after an MBG procedure for the management of CLAI, in a young and active population. The ALR-RSI score may help to identify and counsel athletes on their ability to return to sport.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on translating and validating the Ankle Ligament Reconstruction-Return to Sport After Injury (ALR-RSI) scale for use in the Chinese population following lateral ankle ligament injuries.
- The results show that the Chinese version, ALR-RSI-CHN, has high reliability and internal consistency, with impressive scores in both test-retest reliability and correlation with other established scales.
- There is a notable difference in ALR-RSI-CHN scores between patients who returned to sports (average score of 53.60) and those who did not (average score of 42.25), indicating its effectiveness in assessing readiness to return to sports post-injury.
Article Synopsis
- The study systematically reviews the existing literature on the Ankle Ligament Reconstruction Return to Sport Index (ALR-RSI) scale, focusing on its correlation with returning to sports and functional outcomes after ankle injuries.
- Out of 157 patients analyzed, 85% returned to some form of sport post-surgery, but only about 49% achieved their pre-injury level, highlighting the importance of psychological readiness in recovery.
- The results indicate that the ALR-RSI scale effectively correlates with overall ankle function scores, suggesting it could be a valuable tool for assessing patients' readiness to return to sports after ankle reconstruction.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Ankle Ligament Reconstruction-Return to Sport Injury (ALR-RSI) scale specifically for assessing psychological readiness after a lateral ankle sprain (LAS) and to identify patients' ability to return to preinjury activity levels.
- The study involved 64 patients who were evaluated at 2 and 4 months post-LAS; results indicated that the ALR-RSI scores were strongly correlated with other validated measurement scales.
- The ALR-RSI demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability and was effective in predicting which patients would not return to sports by the four-month mark, solidifying its role as a valuable assessment tool for clinicians.

Article Synopsis
- * The study involved 93 patients using the ALR-RSI scale along with two other assessment tools (OMAS and SEFAS), revealing strong correlations between ALR-RSI and the other scales, indicating its effectiveness in measuring psychological readiness.
- * ALR-RSI demonstrated excellent reproducibility and valid discriminant capacity, showing high sensitivity and specificity at an optimal cutoff, suggesting it can help surgeons predict athletes' readiness and potential postoperative outcomes.
