Clinical Trial Summary

Kinesiophobia after total knee arthroplasty is an important parameter affecting recovery. However, the relationship between kinesiophobia and the factors it may cause is not clear. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia, pain, fear of falling, mobility and proprioception in the early period after total knee arthroplasty.

Description:

Various biopsychosocial factors affect the recovery process and quality of life after total knee arthroplasty. This situation reaches a level that can affect the daily life activities of patients, especially in the long term. Especially kinesiophobia is one of these factors. This condition also affects the proprioceptive sense in the knee, the capacity to move and the fear of falling. However, studies have generally examined long-term effects after total knee arthroplasty. Early studies are limited in number. More studies are needed to better understand the relationship between kinesiophobia and biopsychosocial factors. Additionally, the lack of relationship between the patients' kinesiophobia level, fear of falling, and proprioception in the early period after TKA draws attention. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia, pain, fear of falling, mobility and proprioception in the early period after TKA.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Kinesiophobia	Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale will be used to measure the level of fear of movement and re-injury. In this scale, a score ranges from 17 to 68, and an increase in the score means an increase in kinesiophobia. A score of 39.5 and above indicates the presence of high kinesiophobia.	Baseline
Primary	Severity of pain	Visual analog scale (VAS) will be used to evaluate individuals' level of knee pain. A value of 0 indicates no pain, a value of 10 indicates very high pain.	Baseline
Primary	Functional mobility	'Timed Up and Go Test' will be used to evaluate the mobility and functions of the patients.	Baseline
Primary	Proprioception	Patients' knee joint proprioception sense will be measured with the 'Knee Joint Position Sense Test'. The angle of deviation from the target angle will be determined.	Baseline
Primary	Fear of falling	While performing daily living activities, self-confidence and fear of falling will be evaluated with The Falls Efficacy Scale-International. A score between 16-65 is taken and as the total score increases, the probability of falling increases.	Baseline
