Analysis of Shortened Versions of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia and Pain Catastrophizing Scale for Patients After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Abstract

Shortened versions of the TSK-11 and PCS may be appropriate for ACLR populations, depending on the postoperative phase. These data may guide future research of psychological factors in ACLR populations so that levels predictive of risk for developing chronic pain and/or inability to return to pre-injury activity levels can be determined.
