Patients with an acute LAS (14–65 years) who visited a GP within the 3 weeks after the injury were eligible for inclusion. Exclusion criteria were a LAS during the previous year, a fracture, or no understanding of the Dutch language. Interested patients were referred to the research team by the GP. Additionally, participants were recruited through social media channels (for example, Facebook, Twitter [now known as X]) and advertisements at sports centres and events. All potential participants were screened for eligibility by the research assistant by telephone and provided written informed consent.
