Kinesiophobia and Balance in Stroke Patients

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Survey using a questionnaire.: All participants in this single cohort will undergo a one-time, cross-sectional assessment. This assessment includes the collection of clinical and demographic data and the administration of scales for kinesiophobia (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale-17), balance performance (Berg Balance Scale), balance confidence (ABC-6), fear of falling (Falls Efficacy Scale), pain (VAS), and mood (HADS). No intervention is administered.

Study summary

This is a cross-sectional clinical study planned to include 138 stroke patients receiving inpatient treatment at the Istanbul Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital.Data on kinesiophobia (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale-17) , balance performance (Berg Balance Scale) , balance confidence (Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale-6) , fear of falling (Falls Efficacy Scale) , pain (VAS) , and mood (HADS) will be collected.

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Assessment of Kinesiophobia using the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale-17 — at baseline assessment
  The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale-17 (TKS-17) is a 17-item scale assessing fear of movement. It uses a 4-point Likert scale (1=Strongly disagree to 4=Strongly agree). Items 4, 8, 12, and 16 are reverse-scored. The total score ranges from 17 (minimum) to 68 (maximum). A higher score indicates a higher degree of kinesiophobia.
