Filter by:It was aimed to determine the presence of kinesiophobia that will affect the treatment in stroke patients and to investigate the relationship between these factors and kinesiophobia by examining factors such as postural control, depression, pain, and affected side that may cause kinesiophobia.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure used to restore painless joint function and increase patients' activities of daily living in patients with progressive knee osteoarthrosis. Kinesiophobia can be seen in patients suffering from pain. It is stated that the incidence of kinesiophobia in TKA patients is 24.4%. Based on this information, this study was planned.
Introduction: Breast cancer represents the most common type of malignant neoplasm worldwide. Advances in diagnosis and treatment have increased the life expectancy of patients. However, the sequelae associated with treatment and disease in survivors such as chronic pain, kinesiophobia and loss of physical function represent a long-term health problem. Physical therapy is a frequently used strategy for the treatment of sequelae in the acute stage of the disease, but there is a need to evaluate its effectiveness in cancer survivors with chronic sequelae. Therapeutic exercise and pain neuroscience education have been shown to be effective in the management of populations with chronic pain and loss of function; however, more evidence is needed in specific populations of cancer survivors. Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of a physical therapy program based on pain neuroscience education and therapeutic exercise for the treatment of chronic pain, kinesiophobia and loss of physical function in breast cancer survivors. Methodology. Quasi-experimental study. The sample will consist of 40 female breast cancer survivors. The intervention will last 9 weeks, with 3 sessions of pain neuroscience education and 24 sessions of therapeutic exercise, 3 times per week (16 face-to-face sessions and 8 sessions at home). The intervention will be carried out in small groups of 8 to 12 people. The frequency and intensity of pain, the level of kinesiophobia and physical functionality and the range of of motion of the shoulder will be evaluated in 4 assessments, before the intervention (T0), 3rd (T1), 6th (T2) and 9th (T3) week of the intervention. Different validated measurement instruments will be used in this population such as self-report scales, questionnaires and the use of a goniometer.
This study aims to measure the impact of an experimental pain on electromyography, kinematics of motion and motor cortical excitability.
We aimed to assess the influence of progressive muscle relaxation exercise on kinesiophobia and pain during after lumbar disc surgery using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale in a prospective, randomized fashion.
Chronic musculoskeletal disorders are global burden for economy. Fear-avoidance (FA) seems be a predictor for the transition from subacute to chronic pain. One of the most famous scales to access FA is the Tampa scale of kinesiophobia, but several responders think some items are not clear, too narrow or too general. A new scale, the Fear-Avoidance Components Scale (FACS) was developed by Neblett et al. in 2015 to assess FA. It is a comprehensive set of concepts that more effectively addresses all the essential issues of the FA concept than the current scales. The new scale comprehensively assesses all cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components related to the updated FA model by combining items from well-known scales in the context of the FA model with items on perceived injury-related victimization and blame. A French version of the FACS is currently lacking. The aim of this study is to provide a translation and validation of a French version of FACS in patients with musculoskeletal disorders.
Total knee replacement (TDP) surgery is recognized as an effective surgical option for patients who develop moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the knee. Before, during and after TDP surgery, patients experience physical, psychological and social problems. After TDP surgery, patients may experience problems such as dependency and sleep problems in their daily living activities. Patients who have sleep problems, who cannot rest enough, become tired and experience anxiety as a result. It has been stated that the education given to the patients in the preoperative period reduces anxiety and analgesic needs and increases satisfaction. Progressive relaxation exercises in patients It has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms such as anxiety, pain and fatigue. With the widespread use of mobile technologies, a rapid development is observed in mobile health applications and it is thought that its use in the field of health will provide great benefits to nursing services. This study is of the randomized controlled experimental type. During the application process, a mobile-based training and exercise program will be applied to the patients in the experimental group. As the education content, information about pre- and post-operative information and video-supported training content that will guide the patients with voice commands about the exercises that the patients will do before the surgery will be included in the mobile application. With the implementation of this program, continuity will be ensured by meeting the information needs of the patients before and after the surgery, and by performing progressive relaxation and knee exercises correctly and regularly. With the use of this mobile application, it is aimed to increase the physical functions of the patients by reducing the level of anxiety and fear of movement.
Fear of movement (kinesiophobia) is a phenomenon commonly observed in people suffering from chronic pain. The aims of this project are to better understand the neurophysiological basis of this phenomenon, in particular 1) the effect of kinesiophobia (induced by nocebo intervention) on the excitability of corticospinal projections and 2) the association between kinesiophobia and top-down inhibitory mechanisms.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. A significant number of breast cancer survivors develop many complications. Breast cancer and survivors may develop a fear of physical activity avoidance and movement, called kinesiophobia, due to upper extremity pain, numbness, restricted arm/shoulder range of motion, and risk of lymphedema. Therefore, in the present study, it is aimed to compare the effect of fear of movement on physical activity, quality of life and psychological states in women who have had breast cancer with healthy people.
Aiming to determine the effects of elastic band exercise on kinesiophobia, functional capacity, and depression after the total knee arthroplasty, the present study was designed and carried out as a randomized controlled trial study. The study was carried out between October 2019 and April 2020 in the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Department of a training and research hospital.This study, the effects of elastic band exercise program on the pain, kinesiophobia, quality of life, depression, and functional capacity of TKA patients were examined. Elastic band exercise program significantly decreased the pain level, exercise fear, and depression level of patients and positively contributed to the quality of life and functional capacity.
