Why the study?
It was unknown whether psychological readiness for sport and knee self-efficacy assessed at 3 months after ACLR predict self-reported functional outcomes, quadriceps strength, and knee running mechanics at 6 months.
Do psychosocial factors at 3 months after ACLR predict 6-month subjective and objective knee outcomes in athletes?

Early ACL-RSI/K-SES scores may aid 6-month RTS prognostication after ACLR; leaves open whether interventions targeting them improve outcomes.
Do psychosocial factors at 3 months after ACLR predict 6-month subjective and objective knee outcomes in athletes?
Psychological readiness and knee self-efficacy at 3 months post-ACLR predict better self-reported functional outcomes, quadriceps strength, and knee mechanics at 6 months.
