Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the progress of society, people's enthusiasm for and participation in sports are increasing, and the incidence of sports injuries is growing. Thanks to the rapid development in sports medicine in recent years, both elite athletes and sports enthusiasts can now enjoy high-quality sports medicine diagnosis and treatment services. Numerous assessment methods, such as physical examinations and signs, imaging techniques, and motion capture techniques, are put into clinical application, yielding fruitful results. These diagnostic tools provide valuable information for clinicians, who then choose physiotherapies, conservative therapies, or surgical interventions to help patients restore their sports performance. The accumulation of experience further makes this recovery faster. Considering that there are countless injury types with different injury mechanisms, a summary of current progress in clinical assessment and treatments is required. In the current Special Issue, we welcome both original papers and reviews with a specific focus on novel diagnosis or treatment modalities in sports medicine. New findings of established diagnosis plans or therapies are also meaningful.

The most recent scale to quantify psychological readiness before returning to sport is the ALR-RSI (Ankle Ligament Reconstruction—Return to Sport after Injury) scale. The aim of this study was the cross-cultural adaptation to Spanish and application of the ALR-RSI scale in a sample of active people who were not professional athletes, and to carry out an initial psychometric analysis of the functioning of the instrument in this sample. The sample consisted of 257 participants (161 men and 96 women) aged between 18 and 50 years. The adequacy of the model obtained in the exploratory study was confirmed, obtaining a model composed of one factor and 12 indicators in total. The estimated parameters were statistically significant (p < 0.05), and the factor loadings presented values higher than 0.5; thus, all indicators revealed a satisfactory saturation in the latent variable (convergent validity). Regarding internal consistency, the Cronbach’s alpha value was 0.886 (excellent internal consistency). This study demonstrated that the ALR-RSI in Spanish is a valid and reproducible scale for evaluating psychological readiness to return to non-professional physical activity after ankle ligament reconstruction in the Spanish population.
