Patient Perceptions of Psychological and Rehabilitation Experiences After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Qualitative Study
Patients 4 to 6 months post-ACLR described how struggles during their recovery and rehabilitation experiences were improved by positive shifts in their psychological perceptions. Increasing positive psychological awareness within a supportive rehabilitation environment may improve rehabilitation experiences and RTS rates after ACLR.
