Evidence-Based Performance & Recovery
Every RBF protocol is grounded in published research across psychology, neuroscience, rehabilitation, performance, and behavioral health.
81% return to some sport after ACL reconstruction; only 55% return to pre-injury competition level.
RBF Response: Readiness assessment integrated at weeks 4, 8, and 12 to measure psychological clearance alongside physical clearance.
More than 50% of athletes cite fear of re-injury as a primary psychological barrier to return to sport.
RBF Response: TSK / PCS-informed screening and daily fear-avoidance tracking built into WTH Index™ scoring.
Rehabilitation adherence can fall as low as 40% in some settings. Dropout is behavioral, not logistical.
RBF Response: Daily check-ins, progress visibility, identity support, and pre-session clinician briefs reduce dropout risk.
35% of elite athletes experience clinically significant burnout symptoms during or after injury.
RBF Response: WTH Index™ mood and identity tracking provides early burnout detection signals before disengagement.
Psychological stress suppresses the ANS recovery window in ways similar to physical overtraining stress.
RBF Response: Sleep, readiness, and ANS-informed tracking integrated into daily behavioral signal capture.
Recovery outcomes are determined by biological, psychological, and social factors — not physical clearance alone.
RBF Response: Three-layer protocol addressing tissue, nervous system, and psychological readiness simultaneously.
Athletes with high athletic identity experience more severe psychological responses to injury and slower return.
RBF Response: Identity continuity support and role-reframing woven into WTH Index™ coaching check-ins.
Quality and consistency of rehabilitation engagement between sessions matters more than time in clinic alone.
RBF Response: WTH Index™ closes the 167-hour gap with daily behavioral monitoring, adherence tracking, and clinician alerts.
