Filter by: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.
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.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of kinesiophobia in multiple sclerosis and to investigate the effect of kinesiophobia on physical activity, functional status, quality of life and depression.
Introduction: Kinesiophobia is a common symptom associated with high levels of disability and has also been observed in patients with headache. However, the relationship between kinesiophobia and clinical factors in this population is unknown. Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and fear of falling, quality of life, and physical activity in children with headache. Methods: We included 127 children aged 6-18 years with headache complaints in our study. The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) was used to assess kinesiophobia, the International Falls Efficacy Scale (IFSES) was used to assess fear of falling, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)- short form was used to measure physical activity, and the Quality of Life Scale for Children (QOLS) was used to assess quality of life. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess pain intensity.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of prostate cancer on patients' physical activity, kinesiophobia, fatigue and functionality. This research is a prospective study to be conducted on volunteer individuals between the ages of 40-75. People diagnosed with prostate cancer (study group) and healthy adults who have not been diagnosed with prostate cancer before (control group) will be included in the study. The demographic characteristics, physical activity levels and quality of life of all individuals participating in the study will be evaluated with an online form. In demographic data, physical, sociodemographic data such as age (years), height (cm), body weight (kg), body mass index (kg/m2) and disease-specific information will be recorded. Physical activity level will be measured with the International Physical Activity Survey short form (UFAA), fatigue with the Functional Evaluation of Chronic Disease Treatment-Fatigue Questionnaire, fear of movement with the Causes of Fear of Movement Questionnaire, and quality of life with the Functional Evaluation of Cancer Treatment-Prostate Version questionnaire (KHTFD-Y).
Objective(s) of the trial: Better understand the interaction between kinesiophobia and motor control. Main objective: To measure the influence of induced kinesiophobia on functional connectivity between the posterior parieto-occipital region and the primary motor cortex in healthy subjects during a pointing task. Secondary objectives: The secondary objectives will be 1) to verify the excitatory influence of pIPS stimulation on the excitability of M1 at rest and 2) to establish whether there is a correlation between functional connectivity and the level of kinesiophobia ( as measured by the Tampa Scale)
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between pain management, kinesiophobia, physical activity and disability level in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) in different genders. Eighty-two patients with CLBP (42 females, 42 males) between the ages of 20-60 participated in the study. Pain management strategies were determined by Pain Coping Questionnaire (PCQ). Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia for perception of kinesiophobia, Oswestry Disability Index for disability due to pain and International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) for the physical activity level were used.
Stroke is a sudden decrease or cessation of blood flow to the brain. Two specific types of stroke account for the majority of stroke cases. Hemorrhagic strokes are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel within the brain, and ischemic strokes are caused by the blockage of an artery in the brain; Both conditions cause local hypoxia that damages brain tissue. Although both are serious and common, ischemic strokes are more common. Motor disorders after stroke manifest themselves as poor motor coordination, which also impairs mobility, as well as deterioration in muscle strength and tone. Post-stroke rehabilitation aims to help patients return to daily living activities by restoring the function of damaged muscles. One of the most fundamental problems of rehabilitation and daily life is decreased mobility. Biomedical understanding of kinesiophobia by assuming that the cause of the problem is the fear that physical activity will increase pain or disease symptoms. Kinesiophobia as the fear of experiencing physical or psychological discomfort. Balance disorders are among the important factors affecting falls. Impaired postural control has a major impact on independence and gait in activities of daily living. Evaluation of postural balance in the subacute and chronic periods in stroke patients is an important factor in predicting the risk of falling. We believe that postural problems seen in stroke patients may affect kinesiophobia and fear of falling. Pain and balance disorders seen in stroke patients can trigger the fear of falling, and the fear of falling can trigger the fear of moving.In approximately 60-70% of chronic stroke patients, poor self-esteem about falls is associated with increased anxiety and limitations in mobility balance. -qualification is declared.
