The short version of the ALR-RSI scale is a valid and reproducible scale to evaluate psychological readiness to return to sport after ankle lateral reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To develop and validate a short and mini version of the ALR-RSI (Ankle Ligament Reconstruction-Return to Sport after Injury) scale.

Methods

The ALR-RSI scale contains 12 items and was administered to 109 patients following arthroscopic anatomical lateral ankle reconstruction. The short (6-item) and mini (3-item) versions were developed using a systematic selection process to eliminate items based on their category, mean, standard deviation and pertinence. A second group of 75 patients participated in an analysis to validate the predictive value of these scores. These patients filled out all three ALR-RSI versions 6 months after arthroscopic anatomical reconstruction of the lateral ankle to determine the predictive value for the return to sport (RTS) at 12 months.
