“…Despite the growing body of literature documenting the role of psychological factors in influencing sports injury rehabilitation processes and outcomes, only rarely are sport psychology professionals fully fledged members of the sports medicine treatment team (Cerny et al 1992;Larson et al 1996). The low level of involvement of sport psychology professionals in the rehabilitation of athletes with injuries may be due, in part, to: (i) the structure and restrictions of the health care systems in which athletes receive rehabilitation for their injuries; (ii) the lack of standard procedures for rehabilitation practitioners to refer athletes with injuries for counselling or psychotherapy (Larson et al 1996); and (iii) the reluctance of athletes with injuries to participate in 'extra' therapeutic activity beyond their physical rehabilitation even if they find the interventions sufficiently credible (Brewer et al 1994b).…”

Rehabilitation of sports injuries involves more than repairing the physical injury and regaining previous levels of physical performance. Optimizing injury rehabilitation also includes understanding the psychological impact of the injury on the athlete and how psychological factors may interact with the rehabilitation process. The purpose of this chapter is to review the research examining psychological factors related to sports injury rehabilitation.Major advances have been made in recent years in our understanding of the range of psychological factors associated with sports injury rehabilitation. In the early 1990s, Williams and Roepke et al. (1993) and Brewer (1994) made specific suggestions for improving the quality of psychological research on sports injury rehabilitation. Fortunately, many of these recommendations have been heeded. Specifically, responding to the recommendations made by Williams and Roepke, researchers have: (i) identified cognitive and emotional responses to injury that are characteristic of athlete populations (e.g. Leddy et al. and (vii) examined groups of athletes that are homogeneous with respect to injury type, severity and prognosis (e.g.

“…Consistency across clinical specialties in the diagnosis of shoulder instability is necessary to coordinate care among all clinicians, any of whom may be the first point of diagnosis or treatment for athletes with shoulder instability. 18,19 However, differences between sports medicine specialties in clinical training and types of ways through which they interact with injured athletes may affect the uniformity in the criteria used to diagnose shoulder instability.…”

Background Clinicians of many specialties within sports medicine care for athletes with shoulder instability, but successful outcomes are inconsistent. Consistency across specialties in the diagnosis of shoulder instability is critical for care of the athlete, yet the extent of divergence in its diagnosis is unknown. Hypothesis Physicians differ from rehabilitation providers in which findings they deem clinically important to differentiate shoulder instability from impingement, and in how they diagnose athlete scenarios with atraumatic shoulder instability. Study Design Cross-sectional study. Methods Physicians (orthopaedic surgeons, primary care sports medicine physicians) and rehabilitation providers (physical therapists, athletic trainers) were asked via an online survey to rate clinical factors used to diagnose shoulder instability. Clinicians were also asked to diagnose two athlete scenarios with concurrent clinical findings of atraumatic shoulder instability and impingement, differentiated by the absence or presence of a positive sulcus sign. Results Responses were recorded from 888 clinicians. Orthopaedic surgeons (N=170) and primary care sports medicine physicians (N=108) ranked physical examination factors as more important for the diagnosis of shoulder instability than patient history factors, whereas physical therapists (N=379) and athletic trainers (N=231) preferred patient history factors. Orthopaedic surgeons differed from physical therapists and athletic trainers in their clinical diagnoses for both scenarios ( P ≤0.001). Conclusion A lack of consistency exists among sports medicine clinicians in recognizing which clinical factors are important when used to diagnose shoulder instability and in diagnoses given with concurrent findings of impingement. Level of Evidence Level 3.
