Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Athlete Fear-Avoidance Questionnaire in Arabic: Preliminary Analysis of Fear-Avoidance in ACL-Reconstructed Recreational Players
Our study demonstrated that the AFAQ-Arabic was a reliable and valid tool for assessing fear avoidance in Arabic-speaking recreational players after ACLR. Future studies are needed to measure athlete fear-avoidance in injured Arabic-speaking athletes to understand its psychological aspects in rehabilitation and potentially aid in tailored interventions for improving outcomes.
