An interrelationship between psychological and physical health is generally accepted in the field of sports medicine. This preliminary study explored the association between emotional changes and functional outcomes and aimed to describe how each aspect progresses during postoperative rehabilitation. Four collegiate student-athletes (1 female and 3 males) who underwent supervised postoperative rehabilitation due to a lower-extremity injury volunteered for participation in the study. Emotion was quantified using a visual analogue scale prior to and after each session while self-reported function using the Lower-extremity Functional Scale was assessed every eight sessions throughout rehabilitation. There was a moderate correlation between emotional changes and functional outcomes (r = 0.58, < 0.0001). After the first emotional improvement, patients experienced six emotional deteriorations (28% of the entire rehabilitation period; F = 2.25, < 0.0001), while their function consistently increased (F = 17.39, < 0.0001). Clinicians should be aware of the relationship between emotional changes and functional progression as well as the occurrence of emotional fluctuations when supervising and consulting patients during postoperative rehabilitation. A larger study is warranted to generalize the results.
心理与身体健康之间的相互关系在运动医学领域已得到普遍认可。这项初步研究探讨了情绪变化与功能结果之间的关联，旨在描述术后康复过程中各个方面是如何进展的。四名因下肢受伤接受术后康复监护的大学生运动员（1名女性和3名男性）自愿参与了该研究。在每次康复训练前后，使用视觉模拟量表对情绪进行量化，同时在整个康复过程中，每八个疗程使用下肢功能量表对自我报告的功能进行评估。情绪变化与功能结果之间存在中度相关性（r = 0.58，< 0.0001）。在首次情绪改善后，患者经历了六次情绪恶化（占整个康复期的28%；F = 2.25，< 0.0001），而他们的功能持续改善（F = 17.39，< 0.0001）。临床医生在术后康复期间对患者进行监护和咨询时，应注意情绪变化与功能进展之间的关系以及情绪波动的发生情况。有必要开展更大规模的研究以推广这些结果。
