About

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.

Full description

Objective: This study was planned to investigate the relationship between depression, postural control, pain, affected side and kinesiophobia in stroke patients. Material and Method: Thirty patients aged between 25-70 years who had a stroke at the earliest 6 months and who Functional Ambulation Scale were level 2 and above according to the were included in the study. Patients were selected by random sampling method from the relevant population. Demographic data were obtained from all subjects who met the inclusion criteria. Patients were evaluated Kinesiophobia scores (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKÖ) and VAS-Kinesiophobia Assessment), depression severity (Beck Depression Inventory), postural control loss (PASS) and pain severity (VAS).

Enrollment: 30 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 25 to 70 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• individuals who were diagnosed with hemiplegia or hemiparesis after SVO,
• at least 6 months after SVO,
• who were Level 2 and above according to the Functional Ambulation Classification,
• who wanted to participate in the study voluntarily

Exclusion criteria

• Anyone with a major neurological or rheumatological pathology (polyneuropathy, parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.)
• Affecting the musculoskeletal system other than stroke
• Who does not allow mental evaluation, cannot fill in the scales,
• is illiterate, has aphasia, has a history of falling,
• have any cardiac problems,
• amputation in the lower extremities,
• those with active malignancy and related chemo/radiotherapy,
• the presence of accompanying lower motor neuron or peripheral nerve lesion,
• any musculoskeletal problem and related pain (lumbar disc herniation, meniscus, etc.),
• ındividuals with shoulder subluxation, shoulder-hand syndrome
• those who refused to participate in the study

Trial design

Description:

The kinesiophobia scores of the patients were evaluated by (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale) and (Visual Analog Scale- Kinesiophobia Assessment), depression severity (Beck Depression Inventory), postural control (Postural Assessment Scale), pain severity (Visual Analog Scale).
