Impact of psychosocial factors, pain, and functional limitations on throwing athletes who return to sport following elbow injuries: a case series.
The purpose of this case series is to explore the possibility that: (1) throwing athletes respond to fear-avoidance model (FAM) measures differently than patients in other orthopedic populations; and (2) there is an association between the FAM measures, pain and function scores. ⋯ Subjects in this case study appeared to respond to the FAM questionnaires differently than patients in other orthopedic populations. The TSK FOI subscale may be the most beneficial to use with throwing athletes.
