Filter by:In the post-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) management, physical therapy intervention is an important factor in bringing about a clinically positive prognosis. However, no conclusive therapeutic evidence has been found for various physical therapy interventions. In this study, the investigators would like to investigate the effects of physical therapy interventions on ARCR patients.
During the rehabilitation process after rotator cuff repair surgery, patients suffer from increased pain and discomfort due to dysfunction. Pain neuroscience education, a more modern educational method, has been reported to be effective in controlling pain by reducing the fear of movement based on an understanding of neurophysiology.
Although one of the most evidence-based treatment protocols is based on exercise strategies in patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome, fear and avoidance of physical activity; named 'Kinesiophobia' may hinder the patients from the exercises. Cognitive dysfunctions are seen frequently in Fibromyalgia Syndrome. The aim of this study, to assess the relationship between kinesiophobia and cognitive functions, disease severity, quality of life, physical activity level, pain intensity, and anxiety/depression level in Fibromyalgia patients. Additionally, the investigators aimed to compare the kinesiophobia level and cognitive functions between patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome and control subjects.
New technologies have improved the aproach of patients with different pathologies. Neck pain is a prevalent pathology in physical therapy clinics. Evaluating patients with an electronical device could decrease the services saturation and the proffesionals overload.
It is stated that after arthroplasty surgery, besides the physiological factors, the factors related to the individuals may affect the recovery. Among these factors, one of the most defined in the literature is kinesiophobia. Although kinesiophobia is defined as the terms of "fear of movement" and "fear related to pain"; There are also definitions for situations in which fear of movement is most extreme or pain-related fear avoidance beliefs. Kinesiophobia, which usually occurs in the preoperative period and supports the development of chronic pain, may also affect the early recovery findings. It is very important to determine the presence and severity of kinesiophobia as it is associated with functional results after surgery. Individuals' perceptions about themselves, expectations of recovery, and personal beliefs before surgery are thought to affect recovery in the early period. In the studies conducted, it was stated that individuals with high perception about himself and the surgical process recover faster and return to activities. However, it is emphasized that studies should be conducted on the effect of individuals' personal factors such as self-efficacy, self-perception and their perspective on health on the healing process.
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a public health problem characterized by central obesity, increased blood pressure and triglyceride levels, decreased blood HDL levels and the presence of insulin resistance (1).Kinesiophobia is a fear of irrational movement that develops because of its belief in susceptibility to injury and is associated with low levels of physical activity. Considering that exercise improves metabolic processes in people with MS, we aimed to evaluate the presence of kinesophobia in patients with MS. Patients aged 45-65 years diagnosed with metabolic syndrome and healthy controls will be included in the study. Patients with rheumatic and neurological diseases,history of trauma, gonarthrosis, lumbar disc hernia, previous fractures, fibromyalgia and those who have experienced pain for the last week will be excluded. The participants will be filled in the Short Form-36 (SF-36), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale. 48 patients with MS and 48 healthy participants will be included in the study.
The kinesiophobia; defined as irrational fear of movement, which may occur after painful injury and reduce physical activity. It develops the idea that movement in individuals will cause re-injury and cause additional pain to existing pain. Studies have shown that this situation leads to a decrease in physical fitness, avoidance of activity, decrease in quality of life and even depression in the long term. It is known that functional problems such as balance problems and decrease in physical activity level occur in patients with Parkinson's disease. However, in the literature, there is no study investigating the presence of kinesiophobia in patients with Parkinson's disease. Therefore, the aims of our study were to 1) determine the presence / absence of kinesiophobia in patients with Parkinson's disease 2) determine the relationship between kinesiophobia and falling, balance, physical activity level in the presence of kinesiophobia.
