Early assessment of kinesiophobia in cardiovascular disease patients is essential. However, measurement tools are scarce for assessing activity fear in cardiovascular disease patients domestically. Currently, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for the Heart, developed by Bäck et al. (2012), is the most commonly used scale for measuring kinesiophobia among cardiovascular disease patients. As there is no tool available domestically to measure kinesiophobia in cardiovascular disease patients, this research aims to translate, revise, and establish the Taiwanese version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart and subsequently verify its reliability and validity for clinical assessment of kinesiophobia among cardiovascular disease patients. The methodology involves following the translation model by Jones et al. (2001) to translate the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart from the English version to the Taiwan version. Structured questionnaires, including demographic and disease-related information, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart Taiwan Version, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Six-Minute Walk Test, the Taiwan version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire-BREF, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale will be used at the cardiological outpatient clinic and inpatient ward of a medical center in Central Taiwan. Patients meeting the study's inclusion criteria and consent to participate in this study will be interviewed. Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart Taiwan Version will be examined for content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.
To determine Effect of Clinical Pilates (CP) exercises on kinesiophobia and post-operative cardiopulmonary parameters in CABG patients. Kinesiophobia may lead to patients' psychological fear of rehabilitation exercise, thereby refusing rehabilitation exercise, affecting the rehabilitation process of patients, resulting in disuse syndrome, depression, disability and other adverse consequences. Thus, this study is to be conducted to find out the effects Pilates exercises with cardiac rehabilitation for management of Kinesiophobia in post CABG patients.
Improvement of proprioception in athletes has been found to be effective in preventing fear of movement. The importance of these parameters has not been sufficiently emphasized in volleyball players. In addition, the relationship between upper extremity proprioception and the sense of touch, which is an important component of the somatosensory system, and common anxiety states in athletes has not been evaluated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between shoulder joint proprioception and psychometric parameters, kinesiophobia and palmar tactile sensation in volleyball players.
The objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether progressive muscle relaxation training and acupressure can reduce kinesiophobia (fear of movement) in patients recovering from meniscoplasty surgery. The study will also monitor the safety of these non-pharmacological interventions. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: Does the combination of progressive muscle relaxation training and acupressure decrease kinesiophobia in post-meniscoplasty patients? What are the other benefits, if any, of these interventions in terms of pain management and functional mobility? Are there any negative effects associated with these treatments? Participants in the study will: Receive progressive muscle relaxation training and acupressure or a placebo control treatment for a duration of 3 months. Visit the clinic once every month for evaluation and follow-up treatments. Keep a journal recording their fear of movement levels, pain levels, and mobility status.
Non-specific neck pain is the most common musculoskeletal symptom which can cause limited cervical mobility, impaired functional status and stress at work. Virtual reality and motor imagery are unique technologies which have beneficial effects on the treatment of non-specific neck pain. Virtual reality is a simulated 3D environment that enables users to explore and interact with a virtual surrounding while motor imagery (MI) is a dynamic mental process of an action, without its actual motor execution. This study aims to investigate the combined effects of Virtual Reality (VR) and Motor Imagery Techniques (MI) with Routine Physical Therapy (RPT) in patients with Non-specific neck pain. This randomized clinical trial will be carried at Railway General Hospital, Rawalpindi on 93 participants meeting the inclusion criteria included in the study through probability convenience sampling technique. 3 groups of participants assigned ramdomly will receive interventions for three days a week for 6 weeks. Group A will receive virtual reality (VR) and motor imagery (MI) along with routine physical therapy for . Group B participants will receive VR along with routine physical therapy while Group C will receive MI along with routine physical therapy. Total treatment time will be 40 minutes. Outcome measure tools will be Numeric pain rating scale to measure pain, the Tampa scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) for the measurement of kinesiophobia and Neck disability index for disability and functional status.
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare neuromuscular exercises and dance Therapy on physical performance and kinesiophobia results in geriatrics. Methods: As a result of the power analysis (G-Power), 36 participants are planned to be included in this study Block randomization will be used to divide participants into 2 groups, each with at least 18 participants: Group 1 (NE Group) and Group 2 (DT Group) (Randomizer.org). NE (Neuromuscular Exercise) group will participate in a 12-week exercise program consisting of sensorimotor system training, postural stability and control, global and local joint stabilization, balance training, muscle strength, breathing, and functional movement patterns.DT (Dance Therapy) Group will participate in 12-week dance training by a dance instructor. In dance therapy practices, simple and selected basic movements are appropriate to the level of the participants. Data will be collected using the Berg Balance Scale,30-second-Sit-to-Stand Test, Manual Muscle Testing, goniometer measurement and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia. Practice Implications: This current study will contribute to the understanding of how neuromuscular exercises and dance therapy affect physical function and kinesiophobia in geriatrics.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the Mulligan mobilization technique (MMT) on pain intensity, joint position sense (JPS), kinesiophobia, and disability level in individuals with nonspecific neck pain. A total of 34 female individuals with nonspecific neck pain were included in the study. Pain intensity, JPS, kinesiophobia, and disability levels of all participants were evaluated before and after the 3-week intervention. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. In the first group, the participants received MMT by the physiotherapist twice a week for 3 weeks, and self-mobilization techniques as a home exercise program. The second group was trained only self-mobilization techniques.
Objective: The knee joint is one of most common locations in OA. In recent years, it has been accepted that there are different pain phenotypes and patient subgroups in knee OA and that central sensitization (CS) mechanisms are at the forefront in some patients. It is also known that fear of movement, known as kinesiophobia, develops in patients with chronic pain. The aim of this study is to investigate CS and kinesiophobia in patients with knee OA, their relationships with each other, and their effects on pain intensity, functional status, pain catastrophizing and depression. Materials and Methods: Forty-two patients with knee OA and 42 healthy subjects participated in our study. Demographic data, body mass index, habits, comorbidities, medications of participants and disease duration and radiographic grade of knee OA patients were recorded. VAS was used to assess the severity of pain and WOMAC was used to assess pain and functional status in patients with OA. Algometer (pressure pain threshold measurement) and Central Sensitization Inventory were used to evaluate central sensitization in all participants. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured at 3 different points: knee joint, cruris and forearm. The presence of kinesiophobia was assessed with the Tampa Scale af Kinesiophobia (TSK). Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used to assess chronic pain related symptoms.
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.
