Kinesiophobia among physiological overusers with musculoskeletal pain

Abstract

The results of this study point out the need for further elaborating on the concepts of use, overuse and disuse in relation to the fear-avoidance model.

Patients with chronic pain: degree of kinesiophobia related to dance practice

“…Moreover, more than 60% of the patients in the exercise group were afraid of movement. In contrast, the volunteers in both groups in the present study (those who accepted participating in dance therapy and those who declined to participate) had mean scores on the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia indicative of an absence of fear of movement: 39.0±7.08 points (median: 38.5) in the AG and 39.81±6.75 points (median: 42.0) in the CG 24 .…”

Role of kinesiophobia on pain, disability and quality of life in people suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain: a systematic review

“…However, people with CMP often show fear of movement,15 16 which limits the adequate execution of a movement or exercise and leads to more sedentary behaviour 17. Such fear imposes a barrier when exercise is prescribed as part of management resulting in significant clinical implications including reduced adherence to treatment and perseverance of a negative experience with pain 11…”

A comparison of anatomical pain sites from a tertiary care sample: Evidence of disconnect between functional and perceived disability specific to lower back pain

“…In contrast, a significant minority interpret pain catastrophically. To date, studies have included either samples of individuals presenting with a specific anatomical site as the primary pain complaint [e.g., only lower back, (Woods and Asmundson, 2008); shoulder, (Andersson and Haldrup, 2003)] or different anatomical sites as the primary pain complaint [e.g., lower back, shoulder, or leg pain; (Lundberg and Styf, 2008;Senlof et al, 2009)], without making comparisons based on the anatomical site of reported pain; however, people with CMP may differ in systematic ways based on the anatomical site of reported pain. Substantial heterogeneity has been identified within samples of patients having disabling CMP (Senlof et al, 2009;Turk and Rudy, 1988), with investigations focusing primarily on within-sample differences in coping strategies (Asmundson et al, 1997;McCracken et al, 1999) or comorbid psychopathology (Hardt et al, 2000;McWilliams et al, 2003).…”

For example, patients with chronic lower back pain (CLBP) may differ from those with chronic upper or lower extremity pain (ULEP) in presentation, recovery trajectory, and pain-related anxiety.…”
