“…As in this study, studies available in the literature have shown that patients with chronic low back pain typically have high kinesiophobia scores (27)(28)(29). In a study of 80 patients, CPT resulted in a significant reduction in the TKS scores compared to the mean pre-treatment scores (30). In parallel, a significant reduction in TKS scores was observed in 265 patients with chronic neck, back and low back pain after the administration of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program.…”

Aim: This study was carried out to investigate the effect of conventional physiotherapy (CPT) and median nerve radiofrequency therapy (MNRFT) on kinesiophobia in patients with lumbar facet syndrome (LFS). Methods: The sample of this study consisted of 60 patients over 18 with facet joint pain persisting for at least 3 months and unresponsive to medical treatment were included in the study. The patients were divided into CPT and MNRFT groups of 30 patients each according to the treatment they received. The patients were evaluated for pain severity, kinesiophobia, sleep quality, functional status, and depression both before the treatment and one month after the treatment using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TKS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI), respectively. Results: There was a significant difference between the pre- and post-treatment VAS, PSQI, ODI, and BDE scores in both the CPT and MNRFT groups. Additionally, there was a significant difference between the pre- and post-treatment TKS scores in the RFT group, but not in the CPT group. There was no significant difference between the groups in any of the pre-treatment scores. There was also no significant difference between the groups in the post-treatment scores, except for the TKS scores. Conclusion: The study findings indicated that MNRFT and median nerve blockade reduced kinesiophobia more than CPT.

“…The evidence regarding the effectiveness of exercise therapy in the management of LBP is diverse. Therefore, in this review, exercise therapy through TR was considered for the management of LBP that reported better pain and functional outcomes [11][12][13]. Kothari et al concluded that individuals with mechanical LBP can benefit from traditional physical therapy in terms of lowering pain, kinesiophobia, and impairment [11].…”

Based on a previous study, rehabilitation through in-person exercise therapy stays the primary therapy for persistent LBP and should be applied often [14].…”

The most frequent reason for individuals to seek medical attention in both primary care settings and immediate care centers is low back pain (LBP). Over a duration of time, the disability caused by lower back pain has risen enough, particularly in countries with low or moderate incomes. In the coming years, there may be an increase in LBP-related impairment and expenses in countries with low or medium incomes, particularly when fragile medical systems are unable to handle this growing load. Hence, this review focuses on the effectiveness of telerehabilitation (TR) on LBP. The significant advantages of TR may include greater interaction and remote accessibility to medical treatments. The exchange of knowledge and health information is made possible through a more effective interaction, which benefits patients, families, carers, physicians, and researchers. People who live in distant places now have the opportunity to get medical attention assisting families in caring for patients with poor responsiveness. In addition, it provides the potential for prompt detection, the beginning of treatment in the midst of an emergency, a shorter stay in the hospital, ongoing monitoring of those at risk, and overall time and expense savings. Therefore, this study supports the application of TR in conditions of LBP for early management and relief of pain for patients in low-resource areas.

“…Perawatan fisioterapi pada individu dengan kinesiophobia telah menghasilkan pengurangan rasa takut bergerak dan karenanya meningkatkan fungsi, kecacatan, dan kualitas hidup (Kothari et al, 2019). Terapi panas dengan infra-merah merupakan modalitas fisioterapi standar yang dapat digunakan untuk mengurangi rasa nyeri karena panas yang dihasilkan tersebut dapat menyebabkan peningkatan vasodilatasi, sehingga bisa meningkatkan pengambilan oksigen dan meningkatkan penyembuhan jaringan yang sakit.…”

Objective: Kinesiophobia is an excessive fear of physical activity or movement so that patients tend to avoid moving their painful limbs. Not many longitudinal studies have reported that progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and slow deep breathing exercise (SDBE) have a direct impact on the level of Kinesiophobia. Therefore, we explored the effect of a combination of progressive muscle relaxation and slow deep breathing exercise on kinesiophobia in outpatients with chronic musculoskeletal pain in Surabaya.Methods: This study had 43 respondents who all completed a randomized controlled trial (RCT) for 5 weeks, 21 respondents were randomized to receive a combination of progressive muscle relaxation and slow deep breathing exercise and received standard physiotherapy interventions, while the control group consisted of 22 respondents only with standard physiotherapy interventions. The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) is used to assess the level of Kinesiophobia experienced by patients.Results: 1. In the experimental group that was given a combination of progressive muscle relaxation and slow deep breathing exercise and standard physiotherapy, the initial mean score without the scale of kinesiophobia (TSK) was 51.73 points, and after the intervention it was 42.32 points.2. As for the control group which was only given standard physiotherapy intervention, the initial average score without the scale of kinesiophobia (TSK) was 51.71 points, and after the intervention it became 48.33 points.3. The Effect of a Combination of Progressive Muscle Relaxation and Slow Deep Breathing Exercise on Kinesiophobia in Outpatients in Surabaya, with a p-value = (p <0.05).Conclusion: The combined progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and slow deep breathing exercise (SDBE) combination technique is safe to apply to patients with Kinesiophobia disorder because it has relatively no side effects and is practical in its application. The findings from this study support that combination therapy of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and slow deep breathing exercise (SDBE) offers beneficial outcomes for patients experiencing chronic pain, as well as for preventing and treating Kinesiophobia.
